Subject:   Realy LARGE TCP/IP Window Size?
Message-ID:  <20010507162005.C55671@luke.immure.com>

I am working on a FreeBSD device driver for my Co's GSN adapter and need
to be able to set my TCP/IP window size to 512KB (or perhaps more). I
have tried doing this with sysctl:

root@sebulba:p0 /root> sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.recvspace=524288
net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 131072 -> 524288
root@sebulba:p0 /root> sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.sendspace=524288
net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 131072 -> 524288

and although the sysctl happily takes the specification, when I attempt
an ftp command I get:

root@sebulba:p0 /root> ftp 192.168.1.2
ftp: socket: No buffer space available

This is on a FreeBSD 4.0-stable system:

FreeBSD sebulba.vieo.com 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #202: Mon May  7 15:09:46 CDT 2001     bob@sebulba.vieo.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GPXTEST  i386

Anybody have any ideas what I need to do to get this to work?

Thanks,
Bob
