If you really want to have a good idea what is going on you should as well check out what is happening with packet sizes a lot smaller than 1500 (normal mtu). Check data rate an packet loss with packet sizes around 80 bytes or so to get an idea what bothers us :-) -- Regards, Stephan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
