Source of T/TCP traffic

Our IDS are seeing a lot of peculiar T/TCP traffic - the alerts on this is no problem in itself - I can easily disable them. But when I try to analyze the traffic, it seems like ordinary web traffic from various MS IE sources. Now T/TCP is - according to my impression - a halfdead attemt at speeding up TCP, and nothing I would associate with this kind of everyday events. My theory is that this is coused by some firewall or similar product that modidfies outgoing traffic by adding the neccessary TCP option to the packets. First question: Do anyone in this forum know of a product that does something like that (I suspect something from Checkpoint, but I am not sure about that)? Second question: Given that T/TCP has problematic security, can ordinary firewalls handle the protocol by setting up relevant rules? -- --Knut Bjornstad -- ErgoIntegration AS ---Oslo, Norway------- --kbjo () interpost no -- t:47 23 14 53 36 -- mob: 901 15 917 -- _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
