My 2 cents worth.
When i do ping -c8 -l7 -i5 -s472 pi1goe
i get via my 9k6 link 100% link quality.
Could it be someting else than maxqueue ??
I thought that linux had a standard ping size of 24 bytes, ?
At least i have never come across any other problem other than sending too
many packets and causing the tramsmitter to key longer than the defined
maxkey time, or was it something else.?
Other than that i dont see your point.!!
And doing:
/usr/src/linux$ ping -c9 -l8 -i5 -s123 pi1goe
