Yes. That's the gist of it. I believe there is some value in the ability to manually tweak the maximum packet size used by vlade. At the very least it would help with determining optimal parameters for a deployment/use case. > If you have some numbers to share (MTUs and packet sizes as well as > throughput rates and latencies), that would fill out your interesting > story with important details. I sadly made no effort to document it, and, in retrospect, it might have made for an interesting study.. As 'methodology', the target was configured to support 9014 byte frames and the initiator was switched between the two tested packet sizes on Windows XP x86 and Windows 7 amd64. Due to some problems with making these changes to multiple test images, I haven't replicated the results over a larger set of machines. I'm hoping to get back to this in a week or two. > ... >> - change to vblade(8) manual Synopsis section to include current syntax > That change might be simple enough for a patch to be easier for me to > understand than a description, so please send the patch if you don't > mind. This was probably poorly worded. What I was trying to say was that the Synopsis section in the manual page supplied with vblade has not been kept in sync with options added to vblade. Since changing this as suggested below would yield a line longer than 80 chars, I'm not providing a real patch; I don't know how one should format this.
