Hi,
I've been reading a lot lately, but I still can't find the source of my
problem.
For example this is a captured package at eth0:
6249 10.090368 remote.ip local.ip TCP 51402> 50383 [ACK] Seq=56628006 Ack=1578 Win=9216 Len=18824 TSV=240912663 TSER=21362093
These are the current settings:
# ethtool -k eth0
Offload parameters for eth0:
Cannot get device udp large send offload settings: Operation not supported
rx-checksumming: on
tx-checksumming: on
scatter-gather: off
tcp segmentation offload: off
udp fragmentation offload: off
generic segmentation offload: off
generic-receive-offload: off
(I've already tried turning checksumming also off)
The TCP options are set to avoid reassembling streams and not to
validate checksums.
If MTU is set to 9000 for the receiver, and 1500 for the sender, why am
I still seeing large packages?
Any idea?
Thanks,
Estani
