I'm looking at doing some work on a driver for the gige portion of the Marvell Disco2. The existing driver allocates mtu-sized buffers and always passes them off to the network stack. I'm thinking about adding some copybreak optimizations, but I'm not sure what value I should use for the copybreak. I would expect most packets to be on the smaller side. Any suggestions?
