If I receive a 64K frame and the TCP checksum checks out, and the sequence numbers match, and it passes my firewall state, why NOT receive it? It is obviously valid, even if I cannot understand how my interface could have received it. The packet is here, so do something useful with it. I agree with others that MTU means "limit what I transmit". It does not mean "limit what someone else can transmit to me." - -- David DeSimone == Network Admin == [EMAIL PROTECTED] "It took me fifteen years to discover that I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous. -- Robert Benchley -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGl7+oFSrKRjX5eCoRAg/IAKCjpErjfEMx33emhDqtNs327Hi1vQCfQnpC i+33Od/k39MaAF/1LZyxj4I= =xtlB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
