Today I captured an exchange between a client and a tomcat server using
ethereal-gnome-0.99.0-EL4.2 on the server (a Linux box).
The trace shows the client connecting to the server and saying "My MSS
is 1460" which is of course perfectly normal.
But then I see several 4000+ byte frames going from the server to the
client. Yes, frames. The MTU on the interface (bond0) is only 1500. Can
anyone tell me how this is possible? Is Ethereal is just acting up?
I know this is technically the WireShark list, not the Ethereal list,
but I was hoping it is still the right place to ask.
