We have observed some test failures on our CI where
198.51.100.254
accepts connection but it shouldn't.Luckily, this happens only on macOS and we can workaround this by creating a local TCP server with a backlog of
1
.This server will only send a
SYN/ACK
back to the first connection as it doesn't actually accept the connection. Further connection attempts will not see aSYN/ACK
. We can use this behaviour to test a connection timeout on macOS.The backlog behaviour on Linux can not be used to simulate a non-reachable server. Linux sends a
SYN/ACK
back even if thebacklog
queue is full as it has two queues. The second queue is not limit byChannelOptions.backlog
but by/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_max_syn_backlog
. We will therefore fallback to198.51.100.254
on Linux.
