Re: Wierd listen/connect: accept queue never fills up

 From the Linux kernel doc :

tcp_max_syn_backlog
-------------------
Length of the per socket backlog queue. Since Linux 2.2 the backlog specified
in listen(2) only specifies the length of the backlog queue of already
established sockets. When more connection requests arrive Linux starts to drop
packets. When syncookies are enabled the packets are still answered and the
maximum queue is effectively ignored.
