Hello, I have an interesting question. I can't find a solution anywhere to this problem. I have an adsl connection which is able to send a full data packet in about 150ms. I want to cut this time down to decrease latency while serving files, so I thought I'd try and reduce the packet size for the offending upload streams (my webserver). The trick is that I also want all other tcp connections to have the normal full packet size. Enter MSS-clamping. My pppoe client for linux can do mss clamping on every packet that goes out and come in. Not enough control. There is an option to do mss-clamping in iptables, however this only works in the forward table. I can't match and control outgoing web connections, just connections getting routed through the machine. Any ideas? -Ross Skaliotis
