Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
Back in 2003/2004 when I started working on OAFW, there were
communication problems with AFS and Cisco VPN clients which resulted in
the addition of a restriction on the maximum MTU size used for Rx
connections. At the time I added the installation of the RxMaxMTU
registry value (1260) by default because there was not a significant
performance penalty associated with doing so. OAFW is much faster
today and setting the RxMaxMTU size to 1260 is no longer resulting in a
3% to 4% performance penalty but up to 90% on 1Gbit connections. Recent
tests show that the Cisco VPN 5.0.01.600 client no longer prevents the
use of AFS traffic. As a result, unless I hear that I shouldn't, I am
planning on removing the RxMaxMTU setting from the installers.
