I received prompt responses from:

P. Alejandro Lopez-Valencia <alejo@curuba.colciencias.gov.co>
Carlos Alexandre Polanczyk <cap@santacasa.tche.br>
Marina Daniels <Marina.Daniels@ccd.tas.gov.au>

cap@santacasa.tche.br provided specific details on how to fix
the problem which was related to /dev/tcp. He suggested the following
changes.

/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_ip_abort_interval 480000
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp ip_path_mtu_discovery 0
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_mss_max 236
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_rexmit_interval_min 1000
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_deferred_ack_interval 100
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max 32

I changed the parameter accordingly and the problem is solved.

Regards,

Damrongsak
