Invisibility cloak research moves forward at MTU

(Phys.org) —Michigan Technological University’s invisibility cloak researchers have done it again. They’ve moved the bar on one of the holy grails of physics: making objects invisible. Just last month, Elena Semouchkina, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at Michigan Tech, and her graduate student, Xiaohui Wang, reported successful experimental demonstration of the use of non-conductive ceramic metamaterials to cloak cylindrical objects from microwave-length electromagnetic waves. Previously, Semouchkina had designed a non-conductive glass metamaterial cloak that worked with infrared frequency waves, which are shorter than microwaves. …read more

IP fragmentation problem

By arichard

Hello all, I am experiencing a problem with IP fragmentation.
I am receiving an udp packet that is larger than the MTU and it is fragmented along the network.
I am receiving the two fragments but they are not being reassembled correclty.

The MTU of the system is 1500 and I cannot increase it, because I am getting this error: SIOCSIFMTU: Numerical result out of range.
Is it necessary to build the kernel with support for jumbo frames?

There’s any option that should be enabled on the kernel (2.6.34.8) to support this feature? Shouldn’t this be a default feature?

Any hint that may assist in debugging this issue is welcome.

The first packet it is considered (bad) as a complete packet and I am getting an error at the app level.

The second packet is the last part of the fragment which should be ignored completely:

As reference I am sending the same packet to my laptop which is implementing correctly the fragmentation re-assembly:

RHEL 5.5 NIC Bonding

By tjcooper

I am new to linux. I have a falconstor CDP installation which runs on RHEL 5.5 (Tikanga). There is a vendor option to bond nics in either 802.3ad or round robin, I choose 802.3ad. The server is connected to a Cisco 3750 switch.

The problem is dropped packets and eth03 wont come up in the PO (suspended). I am getting reports of dropped packets. When I look at the network files, things dont look right. I am not posting this without doing homework, I have spent the last couple days looking into RHEL NIC Bonding. At this point, I need help, before I make the changes I think are necessary. I dont think Eth0 should have an IP and I am not entirely sure what kind of load-balancing RHEL supports.

This is what is on the server
