Subject: LRO with ip fragmentation
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2008 17:13:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4919AF1E.5060500@de.ibm.com> (raw)
Hi,
Jean-Pascal Billaud pointed us to an interesting question:
Currently we do not check in the LRO receive path whether
TCP packets are ip fragmented. They are aggregated in any
case which might be wrong. The question is: Is it possible
that we can get fragmented TCP packets without the tcp stack
changing the MSS size? How can this be easily intentionally
provoked for testing (only by using an extra gateway?)?
Regards,
Jan-Bernd
