Title: RE: [afnog] Treason uncloaked

Looks like the TCP protocol on the remote host is trying to shrink the Window size used in flow control without agreeing with your machine and your Linux box is complaining. The TCP/IP protocol stack on the remote host is probably  buggy and may need replacing

Hello,

Can someone please tell me what is Treason uncloaked. I found a

strange kernal message on one of my linux boxes yesterday.  The full

message is

Kernel: TCP: Treason uncloaked!  Peer 216.185.65.90:1553/80

Shrinks window 243679502:2436797362. Repaired.

The IP above is not any of mine.

cheers,

Benjamin
