Once upon a time, Nicholas Miell <nmiell(a)comcast.net> said:
IIRC, 2.6.17 had some changes to TCP window scaling which breaks on
some
stupid NAT/firewall/load balancing appliances. (And some versions of BSD
pf, apparently.)
Thanks to all replies. It does appear related to TCP window scaling;
add the Juniper JUNOS stateful firewall protocol algorithms to the
affected list. We are working this with Juniper now (but this gives us
a much better idea as to where to look).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
