Comment 3 Bryan Mason 2007-06-21 22:32:20 UTC 
Other customers who have reported this problem have also reported that setting
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_retrans_collapse = 0 has resolved this issue for them. 
You can make this a permanent setting by adding the following line to
/etc/sysctl.conf:

    net.ipv4.tcp_retrans_collapse = 0
Comment 4 Linda Wang 2007-06-24 16:42:11 UTC 
please let us know if setting net.ipv4.tcp_retrans_collapse=0 works for you?
If so, please close this bug.   Many thanks.
Comment 5 aqjh 2007-09-17 06:53:03 UTC 
hi, all

when we set net.ipv4.tcp_retrans_collapse = 0, the problem is removed.
thanks all.

Best regards.
