hi, Whats the maximum number of packets that are queued by ip_queue for the user space to handle ... is it 1024 as defined in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_queue_maxlen ? That is a max of 1024 packets are queued by the kernel, and can we change this value somehow ? thanks Amit "DISCLAIMER: This message is proprietary to Hughes Software Systems Limited (HSS) and is intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
