Hi folks, i am pinging my desktop from a obsd machine and i am very curious about the size of packet an sending. Here you have it:
sioux@etosha$ ping -s 65467 gustav.cpd.ufv.br PING gustav.cpd.ufv.br (200.235.177.58): 65467 data bytes 65475 bytes from 200.235.177.58: icmp_seq=0 ttl=63 time=12.241 ms 65475 bytes from 200.235.177.58: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=11.940 ms --- gustav.cpd.ufv.br ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/std-dev = 11.940/12.090/12.241/0.186 ms sioux@etosha$ ping -s 65468 gustav.cpd.ufv.br ping: packet size is too large: 65468 sioux@etosha$ I cannot ping with a message size above 65467, why ? I realize the difference between 65535 and 65467 is 68 bytes. What is obsd accounting for ? Thanks in advance.
