Well TCP does upto 64k -- that is what GSO is about. If you want it for unrelated connections I'm not sure it would actually work because if you have a deep TX queue already it is unlikely the qdisc will buffer that much. Most packet injection should come from the individual sockets which is obviously only a single connection. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
