the entire 1500 bytes at once.
TCP doesn't work that way.
How do I avoid this segmentation.
You don't use TCP.
Is it a linux setting which I can change or is it a TCP
setting?
You can force fragementation by lowering the MTU of the
interface, but you can't prevent it.
either way, what can I do? I'm sending the packets using the C
send() function.
No, you're not sending packets.
You're sending a stream of bytes. That means you'd better be
prepared to receive a stream of bytes (one byte at a time if
the network so chooses).
