In extreme cases you may have to turn on the net.inet.tcp.rfc1323 sysctl and increase the buffer size to values greater then 65535. This option turns on the window sizing extension to the TCP protocol. We do not recommend that you use this option unless you absolutely have to because many hosts on the internet can't handle the feature and may cause connections to freeze up. However, in /etc/defaults/rc.conf, these TCP extensions are turned on. I'm assuming this recommendation is out of date? >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
