Sigh. 1ms of traffic at 40Gbit is 5 MBytes The reason for the cap to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_limit_output_bytes is to provide the limitation of ~2 TSO packets, which _also_ is documented. Without this limitation, 5 MBytes could translate to : Fill the queue, do not limit. If a particular driver needs to extend the limit, fine, document it and take actions. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
