It may not be an issue if the reordering is not large enough to trigger retransmissions, but even then it is annoying as it causes more work in the endpoint -- it prevents LRO from working, and even on the host stack it takes more work to sort where an out of order segment goes than appending an in-order one to the socket buffer. cheers luigi _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
