There was no response to the inquiry below (just over a week old).
Removed some details to save bandwidth.

For reasons which I shall not bother you with, decided to try changing to
using TCP when NFS mounting a file system on an Alpha running DU 4.0b. The
file system is exported from a SUN running Solaris 2.5. Days later the SUN
got very upset, the problem appeared to be a large number of packets from the
Alpha (rate approx. 1.7k per second). I captured some packets and then
reverted to the default mounting - which gives NFS V3 over UPD.
The packets are very short TCP. They are all NFS (from the port numbers),
all have very large TCP sequence numbers with Ack number set to zero. The
server was not seen to reply.
So, has anyone seen this before? Any idea who's problem it may be SUN
or Digital ?
