To: hackers@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 29 Jan 1996 10:42:14 +0100 (MET) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I was wondering why RFC1323 timestamps are disabled on both freefall and freebsd.cdrom.com I know one reason not to have them is that they defeat VJ header compression, but I don't see the point in having them disabled on freebsd.cdrom.com If there are no good reasons, could they be enabled ? I am asking because am doing some experiments on TCP selective acknowledgements (SACK) which use timestamps to convey SACK information.
