- Hello
- We are using Berkeley sockets and we wish for some reason to use
- raw sockets, but we have a problem. We can not send packets greater
- than about 1500 - 2000 bytes. Why is that ?
- Does the protocol spesify this or is it only the implementation that
- has this limitation ?
- I have read that IP can do fragmentation and that the maximum
- size of an IP datagram is 65536 bytes. Is this true ?
-
- Can someone please help us ?
