I'm not really surprised. I would have thought that a well-behaved sender would be using congestion avoidance and limiting its transmit window so that packet drops should be rare, even with an oversize advertised window. What's surprising is that this sort of tweak is ever required, other than as a minor optimization. -- Barney Wolff http://www.databus.com/bwresume.pdf I'm available by contract or FT, in the NYC metro area or via the 'Net. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
