Polynomial has joined #arpnetworks Polynomial: anyone here familiar with low-level ethernet frames?
specifically, why was 1500 bytes chosen as an MTU?
the RFC for Ethernet V2 just says that it is 1500 and 1492 on 802.3
but not why
just looks like they pulled a number out of their ass ._o toddf: at least its better than the ?64?byte atm frames Polynomial: well there is that :P jdoe: toddf: hey, question... I finally got my feet a little, er, damper in openbsd by doing a double upgrade the other day... but I noticed that all the mirrors seem to be in europe or asia.
is there a reason for that, or is it just "that's where resources are"? toddf: all mirrors? you've looked at http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html lately? jdoe: ... shit, before I asked that question I probably should have tried a little harder to remember which set of mirrors I was talking about.
I may be thinking of ports mirrors. toddf: primary is ftp.openbsd.org which is in canada
I use ftp3.usa.openbsd.org and ftp5.usa.openbsd.org myself depending on if I want v4 or v6 respectively jdoe: toddf: yeah I'm thinking of the c(v)sup mirrors. toddf: ah, haven't used those in a while jdoe: which at least according to http://www.openbsd.org/cvsup.html are all eu/ap toddf: if thats where they are, that's where people volunteered to setup and maintain them jdoe: ah, cool.
I was wondering if it was something similar to the "no working on crypto in the us" or whatever. toddf: the release of the source originates from canada
mirrors are setup to propogate it to the us, but not out; same would have to be done for the c(v)sup mirrors jdoe: I dig. ***: robotarmy has joined #arpnetworks
