I was curious how this is working (using 2.0.34!) using local connection
and here any paket size larger than 24372 won't work at all:
# ping -s 24372 localhost
PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 24372 data bytes
24380 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=11.0 ms
24380 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=10.3 ms
24380 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=11.6 ms
24380 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=9.9 ms
24380 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=9.8 ms
--- localhost ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 9.8/10.5/11.6 ms
# ping -s 24373 localhost
PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 24373 data bytes
--- localhost ping statistics ---
7 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
any idea what's the reason for this limit ?
