tap mtu limitation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



tap devices appear not to support an mtu higher than 1500:

usilap:/ # uname -r
2.6.23.12
usilap:/ # /usr/bin/tunctl -u root -t tap0
Set 'tap0' persistent and owned by uid 0
usilap:/ # ip link set tap0 mtu 1500
usilap:/ # ip link set tap0 mtu 1501
SIOCSIFMTU: Invalid argument
usilap:/ # ip link set tap0 mtu 1600
SIOCSIFMTU: Invalid argument

Would it be trivial to remove this limitation?  Can anyone tell me where
is the code that is enforcing this limitation?  Is it in
drivers/net/tun.c ?

thanks,
Eddie
