Hi...
I've apache server on 192.168.0.1 port 80 running on IF with mtu=200,
i've write a simple client that sends data (> 4000bytes). I've got
from tcpdump on pc with apache all pkts with flag DF,
why that pc doesn't fragmet the pkt if I send from pc with mtu=1500 ?
Can you upload your client code somewhere so somebody can take a look?
Now, for the guessing part, I think it really depends what do you expect
from the apache as a return. If the reply packets fit the apache's
machine mtu, then I guess there is no need to fragment them. After all,
window sizing is done dynamically according to the real traffic
situation, so it could be that the two endpoints somehow agree on
certain window size so there is no need to fragment at all.
Anybody, pls CMIIW.
regards,
Mulyadi
