Re: UDP Socket Options

2003-09-02 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You may want or you may not want the UDP checksum, depending on what sort of error checking exists in the overlying protocol. This needs to be determined on a protocol by protocol, per socket, since some protocols might want it and others might not. It must be the application programmers choice and

UDP Socket Options

2003-09-02 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD ought to add per-socket socket options to allow a programmer to turn on and off the don't fragment bit for UDP and the UDP checksum, on a per socket basis. This, at least I would think, would be very easy for someone knowledgable in the networking implementation to implement. Thank you

Further searching turned up a post on the Quagga-users list which suggested TTL might be the culprit. I bounce the interface using ifconfig to recreate the interface route in the routing table, then throw tcpdump extra options to monitor MTU, as well as running route -nv monitor in the background:

I recently switched to a new DSL provider (DSLExtreme), and in doing so, decided to opt to buy multiple static IP's. The idea is that I would like one static IP for the server, and separate static IP's for our desktop machines, so that things such as IRC DCC, streaming media, etc. will "just work"
