--- Comment #9 from Michael Tuexen <tuexen@freebsd.org> ---
(In reply to zhh0000zhh from comment #8)
Sure, the MSS can be different in each direction. Each node declares its
maximum receive size.

However, I do not understand
* How the Nagle algorithm is involved in this discussion
* Why an application cares about the MSS. TCP is a byte stream. At the API
level you have no guarantee that the data you receive has any relation to t=
he
segmentation which was used by the peer. On the sending side, you don't hav=
e to
care about the segmentation process.
