I guess there is a line of thought that you want to have balanced double buffering, not irregular sized packets, so if the MSS gets low, half the MSS per packet is a balanced double buffer. However, the bigger packet not double buffered is same or faster and has lower latency for the data at the end of the packet.

Hello,
I'm having an issue with TCP sockets.
When the TCP connection is terminated on one end, TCP packet with RST flag set is being sent to the sender. All the packets sent so far were carrying the DSCP 'AF21' set by me. But packet with RST flag is carrying DSCP '0'.
Is this expected or... (0 Replies)

Hi all,
I need to change the source port number of an outgoing TCP packet. First I have to bind the socket to a particular port(suppose 9001) but when I send the TCP packet I want to change the source port number lets say to 9002 still letting the socket to be bound to the same old port (9001)....

spray(1M) System Administration Commands spray(1M)
NAME
spray - spray packets
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/spray [-c count] [-d delay] [-l length]
[-t nettype] host
DESCRIPTION
spray sends a one-way stream of packets to host using RPC, and reports how many were received, as well as the transfer rate. The host argu-
ment can be either a name or an Internet address.
spray is not useful as a networking benchmark, as it uses unreliable connectionless transports, UDP for example. spray can report a large
number of packets dropped when the drops were caused by spray sending packets faster than they can be buffered locally, that is, before the
packets get to the network medium.
OPTIONS
-c count Specify how many packets to send. The default value of count is the number of packets required to make the total stream size
100000 bytes.
-d delay Specify how many microseconds to pause between sending each packet. The default is 0.
-l length The length parameter is the numbers of bytes in the Ethernet packet that holds the RPC call message. Since the data is
encoded using XDR, and XDR only deals with 32 bit quantities, not all values of length are possible, and spray rounds up to
the nearest possible value. When length is greater than 1514, then the RPC call can no longer be encapsulated in one Ethernet
packet, so the length field no longer has a simple correspondence to Ethernet packet size. The default value of length is 86
bytes, the size of the RPC and UDP headers.
-t nettype Specify class of transports. Defaults to netpath. See rpc(3NSL) for a description of supported classes.
