nc might be waiting on all the interfaces; enumerating MTUs and choosing the largest sounds complicated, especially when some interfaces can be configured to receive jumbo frames. Why not just use something like 64KB as the other user suggested or something even larger? ----- Original Message ---- From: Bruce M.

I'm not sure if nc has a 'de facto' maintainer however I believe it is something which was recently imported into the freebsd base system. Still, it is better to try to field patches with the upstream maintainer before filing a FreeBSD PR with your patches. regards, BMS _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" ____________________________________________________________________________________ Building a website is a piece of cake.
