Hi folks,
I've been playing with TCP/IP recently, and it looks like the TCP_MAXSEG
option is broken or interacting with path MTU discovery in a non-intuitive
way. Or maybe I'm way off track here.
Anyway, I'm doing this:
opt = atoi(argv[3]);
optlen = sizeof(opt);
if (setsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_MAXSEG, &opt, optlen) < 0)
perror("setsockopt"), exit(1);
if (connect(fd, (struct sockaddr*) &sin, sizeof(sin)) < 0)
perror("connect"), exit(1);
if (getsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_MAXSEG, &opt, &optlen) < 0)
perror("getsockopt"), exit(1);
else
printf("%d\n", opt);
With argv[3] == "300", I'm getting this, 146.169.50.56 being my host.

What happened to my maximum segment size?? (Yes, the program prints 1460)

Niall
