I may be imagining things, but something tells me I'm not . . .
A few (many?) weeks ago, I thought I saw an article in which someone
described a problem in somebody-or-another's TCP/IP implementation with
regards to IP fragmentation. I believe that the problem was that a call (or
two) to htons (or maybe htonl) was causing fragmented packets to go out
without the right bits set to indicate that they were fragments of a bigger
message. Does anyone else remember seeing that article or am I losing my
mind? If you *did* remember it, do you still have a copy of the article? If
so, I really need it! Don't bother sending me mail telling me you have it -
just send it. (So what if my mailer chokes?) If anyone else wants a copy of
it, send me mail and I'll forward any replies I get.
Then again, if I'm confused and am thinking of some other bug, please let me
know so I can regain some confidence in my memory.
Thanx.
