Then what is the use of -recvpipe and -sendpipe ? : :As I said before, they are to set the default buffer size.

We like people :MIT, LCS, ANA, or NSA| who like Shashish. - Claude McKenzie + Florent Vollant Is this supposed to be funny? Look, you guys are already using locked route table fields for minimum and maximum limits, it can't hurt to use the same mechanism for the mtu field as well, as a 'maximum'. Regarding -recvpipe and -sendpipe... sure, if you want to leave those route table fields braindamaged, I suppose you can just be cute and forget about it. Personally, it doesn't increase my respect for the FreeBSD core team when the best answer they can give is a wise crack. I would rather see these fields be put to good rather then made useless. -- Also, tp->t_srtt is not being calculated correctly... I just ran some tcp echo tests and it's nearly four times what it's supposed to be. It gets it right sometimes, but a single lost packet out of 30 destroys the smoothing function for some reason. I haven't traced it down yet. -Matt Matthew Dillon Engineering, BEST Internet Communications, Inc. [always include a portion of the original email in any response!]
