Is there any roadmap on implementing RFC1146 (tcp alternative checksum options) in Linux tcp stack ? If yes, how soon will that be in ? Please kindly copy reply to my email address as I've not subscribed the netdev@ mailing list at present. http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1146.html Thanks! -Yanping ____________________________________________________________________________________ Building a website is a piece of cake.
