Ok, I've heard your arguments, let's allow full 16-bit windows by default in 2.6.17, but please pick a better name for the sysctl knob :-) How about something like "tcp_workaround_signed_windows"? So make the naming change, and allow full 16-bit windows by default, and I'll apply this patch. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
