DSL windows can be quite large because a lot of DSL lines have a quite long latency due to error correction. And with ADSL2 we have upto 16Mbit now. > I think we're having more of a disagreement of what is considered the > "normal case" user.

But disabling TSO, say on a 64k TSOs are likely even with DSL. Anyways even with smaller TSOs the change still makes sense because each increase makes packet scheduling less smooth. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
