Hi, My doubt is whether freebsd uses the normal mbuf & clusters in case of large amount of data ( like jumbogram in ipv6 or the maximum ipv4 datagram size of 65536 bytes)? My understanding is that for such a large amount of data, clusters which can hold only 2048 byes are not economical. Hence freebsd might be using some other type of buffers which have large capacity. Kindly mail me regarding this. Is my understanding correct. Kindly make me updated on buffers used in such cases. regards ravi prasad __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
