From 15d99e02babae8bc20b836917ace07d93e318149 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rick Jones Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2006 22:40:29 -0800 Subject: [TCP]: sysctl to allow TCP window > 32767 sans wscale Back in the dark ages, we had to be conservative and only allow 15-bit window fields if the window scale option was not negotiated. Some ancient stacks used a signed 16-bit quantity for the window field of the TCP header and would get confused. Those days are long gone, so we can use the full 16-bits by default now. There is a sysctl added so that we can still interact with such old stacks Signed-off-by: Rick Jones Signed-off-by: David S.
