Either way, I'm only seeing it ramp up by 32K at a time. Are you sure that it's the packet receive buffer in this case? I'd recommend instrumenting sshbuf_read() first and seeing what what it's doing, e.g. how much data the read() is returning. You can set SSHBUF_DEBUG at compile time to get a lot more info. A strace or similar might be helpful too. -d _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
