I fixed it for my experiments just by maintaining an extra pointer to the tail of the list of mbufs. My solution however isn't general enough in that I haven't patched other parts of the socket/mbuf code to know about this pointer. However, I don't think it should require overhauling the whole system. - Mohit To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
