Why packets are getting fragmented while sending if the destination server's TCP receive buffer size is lowerd ?
Issue
- TCP receive window size,
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem
has been lowered to valuenet.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 128 1044 1044
ORnet.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 512 1392 4092
and then while sending data to the system where these changes are done, packets are getting fragmented.
