You mean IPv6 ? Well, you know, I decided to skip IPv6 and go to IPv8 anyway ;) Yes, these changes apply for both IPv4 and IPv6 in the meantime. > that would be awesome.

Note that it should even help to send faster, since the ACK packets or TCP Small Queue handlers are blocked until the sendmsg() was complete. ACK packets usually open the window for more sends. Many applications are using a loop and multiple sendmsg( ) with ~64KB chunks to work around these latency issues.
