Hi all, first of all, could you please cc any replies to me ? (I'm not on this list).
Last time I checked (around fbsd4.3) , I was unable to set the mtu of a gif device higher then 1280. I just cvs'ed from 4.4 to 4.5, and saw that i was able to set the mtu of the gif device to 1500 (and saw that my 4.4 box could do the same). The weird thing is, though, that since i've upgraded to 4.5, ssh connections from my irix and bsd box in my network (which have public ip's tunneled from work) die spontaniously. They either die when i give it a lot of input, or when i idle for a bit. It smells like a mtu problem to me, but i can't find the problem. When i ssh directly from my router trough the tunnel to work, i get a stable connection, so i figured the home-router itself is the source of the problem. Set up is like this: colo (gif with mtu 1500) -> gif tunnel -> home-router (gif with mtu 1500/ interfaces with mtu 1500) -> irix box (mtu 1200) / bsd box (mtu 1500). Both the irix and bsd box have the problem. The problem was also occuring when the mtu of both gif devices were set to 1280. It all started when i upgraded my home router from 4.4 to 4.5. Any suggestions are welcome. With regards, Bart -- Bart Matthaei [EMAIL PROTECTED] Support wildlife -- vote for an orgy.
