Hi, Could someone say me, why the maximum packetsize in ping command is 8184 (ping -s 8184)? If I want to do a bigger packetsize than this i got message like this:
tepsa:cys:/home# ping -s 65000 127.0.0.1 PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1): 65000 data bytes ping: sendto: Message too long ping: sendto: Message too long ping: sendto: Message too long ping: sendto: Message too long ping: sendto: Message too long ^C --- 127.0.0.1 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss Is there any way to bypass this limit? Should I recompile my kernel/ping.c?
