Clarify that tcp_tw_recycle will break communication with many general-purpose remote Internet hosts (namely, remote NAT devices) even when the Linux device itself is not behind NAT. Sources: - BCP to make NAT implementors aware of this problem (2013): https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-penno-behave-rfc4787-5382-5508-bis-04#section-3.1.2 - RFC 1323 (PAWS) - RFC 6191: Reducing the TIME-WAIT State Using TCP Timestamps - The many users who unknowingly enabled this option on devices communicating with the general-purpose Internet: https://www.google.com/search?q=tcp_tw_recycle%20ip%20nat%20timestamp Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> |

README
This package contains Linux man pages for sections 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. Some more information is given in the `Announce' file. Install by copying to your favourite location. "make install" will just copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8]. To install to a path different from /usr use "make install prefix=/install/path". "make" will move the pages from this package that are older than the already installed ones to a subdirectory `not_installed', then remove old versions (compressed or not), compress the pages, and copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8]. Note that you may have to remove preformatted pages. Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages also distributed in other packages. This has been reported about dlclose.3, dlerror.3, dlopen.3, dlsym.3 (found in ld.so), about resolver.3, resolv.conf.5 (found in bind-utils), and about passwd.5, and mailaddr.7. Be careful not to overwrite more up-to-date versions. Reports on further duplicates are welcome. Formerly present and now removed duplicates: exports.5 (found in nfs-server-2.2*), fstab.5, nfs.5 (found in util-linux-2.12*), lilo.8, lilo.conf.5 (found in lilo-21.6*). Copyrights: These man pages come under various copyrights. All pages are freely distributable when the nroff source is included. If you have corrections and additions to suggest, see http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/contributing.html
