Hi,
My system is FreeBSD 6.2. I sent a UDP datagram of 1464 bytes to port
1234 where nc was waiting
% nc -n -u -l 1234 >tt
Afterwards, the size of tt, however, was only 1024 bytes.
I noticed this piece of code in nc
341 if (uflag) {
342 int rv, plen;
343 char buf[8192];
344 struct sockaddr_storage z;
345
346 len = sizeof(z);
347 plen = jflag ? 8192 : 1024;
348 rv = recvfrom(s, buf, plen, MSG_PEEK,
349 (struct sockaddr *)&z, &len);
350 if (rv < 0)
351 err(1, "recvfrom");
Why 1024 instead of something like 1500-20-8=1472?
Thanks.
Wei
