nat: tweak rfc7857 tcp connection tracking
The RFC7857 state machine introduced in 56c492a is a trade-off. It tries to retain sessions as much as possible and also offers some protection against spurious RST by re-establishing sessions if data is received after the RST. From experience in the wild, this algorithm is a little too liberal, as it leaves too many spurious established sessions in the session table. E.g. a oberserved pattern is: client server <- FIN, ACK ACK -> ACK -> RST, ACK -> With the current state machine this would leave the session in established state. These proposed changes do: - require 3-way handshake to establish session. (current requires only to see SYNs from both sides) - RST will move session to transitory without recovery if data is sent after - Only a single FIN is needed to move to transitory Fixes: 56c492aa0502751de2dd9d890096a82c5f04776d Type: fix Signed-off-by: Ole Troan <ot@cisco.com> Change-Id: I92e593e00b2efe48d04997642d85bd59e0eaa2ea Signed-off-by: Ole Troan <ot@cisco.com>
