Hello,

I've noticed with recent kernels that I'm getting a lot of wierd looking
tcp options send with every packet when telnetting or rlogging to another
NetBSD system.  Has anyone else seen this?  I discovered it because it really
slowed down interactive performance over a PPP link.  Is it a bug?

PS: Here's an example from tcpdump (run through fold to avoid a long line).
This was from a rlogin session on pokey.introl.tom to rdp.introl.com.
Most of the packets don't have quite so many options.

10:20:49.338031 rdp.introl.com.login > pokey.introl.com.1021: P ack 33 win 8760 
<nop,eol,eol,eol,eol,eol,opt-93:39795de8c484f82dc63f0400420000004200000012000000

e41f00004006832ac07c2b5cc07c2b6103fd020167f8> [tos 0x10]

Here's one with fewer options and in the opposite direction:


10:20:52.058104 pokey.introl.com.1021 > rdp.introl.com.login: . ack 324 win 8723
 <nop,nop,opt-8:0002fb6b00005e29>
