Mime-Version: 1.0 Message-ID: <3EEB2491.5DE2B4DE.9513E96F@netscape.net> X-Mailer: Franklin Webmailer 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, My doubt is how data will be organized in buffers in case we want to transmit large amount of data. My doubt is regarding the organization of mbufs in case we want to transmit the maximum ip datagram size. In the normal case data is stored in clusters for data size greater than 208 bytes. My doubt is how the data will be organized in case of such large data. If mbufs along with clusters are used we will have a long chain. Whether any other buffers are used? how the data is organized in the buffers in such a case? How the data will be organized in case we want to transmit jumbograms in ipv6. I think that cluster concept of 2K bytes is too small. regards ravi prasad __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
