Bug ID: 2124
Summary: TCP_NODELAY not set by sshd for non-interactive
non-exec sessions
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: -current
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P5
Component: sshd
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
Reporter: arthurhsliu at gmail.com
Bugs #556 and #981 describe situations where TCP_NODELAY is not set. A
fix is provided in bug #556. However, the patch commit for packet.c in
revision 1.120 does not set TCP_NODELAY for all connections.
If the ssh client is invoked with:
ssh -N host -R port # TCP_NODELAY is not set
ssh -n host -R port sleep 1d # TCP_NODELAY is set - this is a
workaround
There is a difference in TCP_NODELAY being set or not depending on
whether there is a remote command being executed. This is because
packet_set_interactive() is only called in do_exec() on the server
side.
This bug has the unfortunate effect of not setting TCP_NODELAY for port
forwarding only connections.
The proper fix is probably to use attachment 1099 by Darren Tucker that
sets it for all connections on the server side.
