Well, obviously with TSO and LRO the packets that the stack sends or receives are not the same as what's on the wire. Whether that breaks your wonderful networking facilities or not depends on the specifics of the particular facility I guess -- for example shaping is clearly broken by TSO. (And people can wonder what the packet trains TSO creates do to congestion control on the internet, but the netdev crowd has already decided that TSO is "good" and RDMA is "bad") - R. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
