[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] An IP Bug in 4.3 BSD.

subbu%hpindaw@HP-SDE.SDE.HP.COM (MCV Subramaniam) (05/02/89)

The prespecified timestamp option of IP is supposed to be type 3 (as per
RFC 791) but is declared as 2 in 4.3 BSD!!! 

Or is it a typo in RFC 791? :-)

Am I missing something?

FIX:
---
In the file ip.h, change the line

#define IPOPT_TS_PRESPEC	2

to

#define IPOPT_TS_PRESPEC	3

and recompile the stuff.
