Hi all,

I am really banging my head on a problem which sounds too easy. I have
seen that my systems (and some others as well), seem to not provide more
than 1024 bytes on a recvfrom() call. With wireshark, I see that the
system itself, at the IP layer, receives more data. I am a bit puzzled,
to phrase it lightly. I did not find any information on such a
limitation.

I have created a strip-down version of a receiver, even built it on top
of the Linux man pages samples. Out of desperation, I even set the
receivebuf size, which I think has no effect on datagram sockets.
Still... I only get 1024 bytes. Code is after my sig.

Does anybody have an idea what is going on OR a good place where to ask
this question?

Thanks,
Rainer
