I suggest we raise that limit to 2^63-1 bytes. 2^32 bytes only take a few seconds seconds at 100 Gbit, and files larger than 2^32 are common as muck these days. Raising the width of the window update itself is probably not needed, as long as we squander the reserved bit on something else. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
