| |
OK guys...as of around 1.3.73 or so (running 1.3.77 now) my PPP connections are having lots of trouble because of fragmented packets.
Someone said a while ago "why would anyone want to run an MRU other than 1500?"...well, I have a terminal server (equinox) with poor flow control and anything over an MRU of 536 overruns it causing horrendous performance.
Here's the config:
Home(Win95 or Linux) -> Equinox -> Linux -> ISP 28.8 Ethernet 28.8
If I run an MRU of 536 packets get truncated when forward to the home link. If I run an MRU of 1500 the equinox gets overflowed when doing FTP or any large transfer. Catch-22 :-(
tcpdump shows the packets getting truncated over the home link after being received OK from the ISP.
Are there plans to fix this I hope? - /----------------------------------------------------------\ | Mike Black mblack@csihq.com 407-676-5118, x203 | | Computer Science Innovations, Inc. 407-676-2355 FAX | | Melbourne FL 32904-2314 http://www.csihq.com | \----------------------------------------------------------/
