I don't understand your question, what is "striping"? The tcp_adv_win_scale determines how much of the "socket buffer space" we advertise in the actual TCP window. It's mean to approximate the amount of structure and header overhead is assosciated with each packet. But again, it's an approximation and there are cases where it is suboptimal. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
