Hey guys,
A wierd one. I'm trying to track down a packets size (I believe) problem
on my network. During ping testing I've come across the following strange
which I don't understand.
Using various sized packets ($n) with:
ping -f -c 300 -s $n localhost
I'm getting results that I wouldn't expect:
Size PacketLoss
1 14%
2-10 0%
11 100%
12 0%
13 100%
14 0%
15 100%
etc.
Anyone any idea what's going on? I've tcpdump/tcpshow'd the traffic
and the packets are definitely going out, but no replies are coming
back. For the size of 1 we only get 256 packets back and no more.
I've scanned though the ping code, and everything's fine up to and
including the return from 'sendto'.
Does anyone know this part of the kernel?
Joe
