Hello,

I am using cipe-1.5.4 together with Lars Fennebergs' original ignoredf/forcemtu
patch. After a varying while I see kernel messages like

kernel: UDP: short packet: a.b.c.d:40025 1528/1512 to e.f.g.h:40025

on the e.f.g.h side. The interesting part about it is that all this udp packets
contain an ID-field of 0, whereas the normal data packets are counted up. After
these appear the throughput seems to drop dramatically.
Can this be a problem in key exchange?

Regards,
Stephan
