(see. rfc 879) same problem may happen for ip header, but maybe ip header option is not used with tcp packet, no problem. >How-To-Repeat: in my case, my FreeBSD talk to web site (www.netbsd.org) via tcp over pppoe (mtu is 1454), then ppp(8) rewrite mss length to 1414 (= 1454 - 20 - 20). web site send tcp packet size of 1456 octets, and the packet is fragmented. because 1456 > 1454 (mtu). next, I disable rfc1323 extention (stsctl -l net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0), connect to the same host. packet is not fragmented. >Fix: this patch is for ppp(8) src/usr.sbin/ppp/tcpmss.c --- tcpmss.c 2001/07/19 11:39:54 1.1.4.3 +++ tcpmss.c 2001/12/12 00:10:44 @@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ * We are in a liberal position about MSS * (RFC 879, section 7). */ -#define MAXMSS(mtu) (mtu - sizeof(struct ip) - sizeof(struct tcphdr)) +#define MAXMSS(mtu) (mtu - sizeof(struct ip) - sizeof(struct tcphdr) - 12) /*- after patch, I tested. mtu is 1454. 09:38:24.207511 PPPoE [ses 0x1395] IP 62: myhost.4826 > remotehost.80: S 3329176101:3329176101(0) win 16384 <mss 1402,nop,wscale 0,nop,nop,timestamp 33339458 0> (DF) patched ppp(8) send <mss 1402> to remotehost. 09:38:24.542333 PPPoE [ses 0x1395] IP 1456: 204.152.186.171.80 > xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.4826: . 1:1403(1402) ack 192 win 33580 <nop,nop,timestamp 2964938 33339474> received tcp packet is 1402 octets, and the ip packet length is 1454 (but not printed here, sorry). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
