I have been looking for such a feature too. My Application; Bandwidth tester (also as a support app for an UDP file transfer utility) The reason i want DF bit removed? I want to be able to generate my own fragments or let the routers generate the fragments. I also want to be able to receive bad UDP packets to gather statistics. This would be userland applications. -- Sten Daniel Sørsdal _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
