I have attached a copy of tcpdump output for two linux systems connected
over ether replaying the scenario for incoming request queue handling given
in Stevens's TCP/IP Illustrated Volume 1: The Protocols. What I don't
understand about the third handshake is if the server is going to send the
syn/ack in response the client's initial syn then why does server repeatly
ignore the subsequent ack from the client?
