Yes, echo'ing the entire message back in an ACK is really pointless. Especially since if the user really is interested in noticing ACKs it can very easily keep the original request around and match on sequence number, as Pablo's patch's commit message suggests. We're stuck with the current behavior by default, but we can add the new ACK feature to deal with the issue in the long term. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
