>Description:
In tcp_input.c, if we process enough data in the header prediction code -- where the step 6 never executes, and then somehow reach step 6. snd_wnd collapses and tcp_output stops sending.
>How-To-Repeat:
Transfer a very large file that stays in "steady state" so as to execute header prediction for a 2+ GB transfer. Then cause header prediction to exit (e.g. pull the cable on the receiving node briefly.)
>Fix:
I believe that snd_wl1 & snd_wl2 need to be updated in the header prediction cases as well.
