Subject: [PATCH] iputils: multiply sndbuf size by sending icmp times
Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2014 10:58:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1417575531-12856-1-git-send-email-li.wang@windriver.com> (raw)

$ ping -i 0.1 198.168.5.200 -W 1
PING 128.224.124.76 (128.224.124.76) 56(84) bytes of data.
ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available
>From 128.224.124.205 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable

when ping a non-exist IP with same subnet,
ping will send arp packet, at first.
there is a limitation for arp packet of same ping.

for linux-2.6, the arp packet of number is 3.
so, the size of limitation is (3*sizeof(arp packet)).

for linux-3.x, the arp packet of size is 64k.
so, it maybe exceed the sock of sndbuf.
the linux kernel impoves the limitation.

when customer use "-i 0.1 -W 1" option, it will send 20 icmp packets.
at the same time, it send 20 arp packets.
it does not exceed the limitation of linux-3.x,
but, it exceeds the sock sndbuf of ping(324):
setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, [324], 4) = 0

so, auto-resize sndbuf according to the arp packet number.
