I looks like I'm encouraging unecessary calls to Sun technical support about the TCP/IP packet size code. They have incorporated the 4.3BSD changes in selecting packet size offered in the TCP Maximum Segment Size option. It will now only offer 536 bytes across routers, and the packet size of the network rounded down to a multiple of 1024 for local connections. This comes out in SunOS 3.4, available reasonably soon from Sun. Other TCP/IP fixes of notable import in earlier releases: 3.2: UDP checksums 3.3: IP Subnets I'm glad that some vendors are hearing the pleas for agressive TCP/IP support from the user community.
