>Release:        2.2.6R, but 2.2.2R was same
>Environment:
>Description:
dumprmt.c of 4.4BSD-Lite dump(8) sets TCP_MAXSEG to 1024.
On FreeBSD's version, not set and replaced with setting of
(almost useless) IP_TOS option.
When I added the very point of original 4.4BSD-Lite code,
dump(8) got 1000% of performance when using with remote
tape control (rmt(8)).
>How-To-Repeat:
I experienced the slowness in contrast to BSDI's dump(8).
>Fix:
I don't know about the very problem, but the patch I made was
effective. I put it at
