For most normal Internet TCP connections, you will see only 2 or 3 packets per TSO because of ACK clocking. If you turn off delayed ACK on the receiver it will be even less. A current hot topic of research is reducing the number of ACK's to make TCP work better over asymmetric links like 3G. -- Stephen Hemminger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 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
