   Modified files:
     sys/netinet          raw_ip.c 
   Log:
   Increase default size of raw IP send and receive buffers to the same as
   udp_sendspace, to avoid a situation where jumbograms (datagrams > 9KB)
   are unnecessarily fragmented.
   
   A common use case for this is OSPF link-state database synchronization
   during adjacency bringup on a high speed network with a large MTU.
   
   It is not possible to auto-tune this setting until a socket is bound to
   a given interface, and because the laddr part of the inpcb tuple may be
   overridden, it makes no sense to do so. Applications may request a larger
   socket buffer size by using the SO_SENDBUF and SO_RECVBUF socket options.
   
   Certain applications such as Quagga ospfd do not probe for interface MTU
   and therefore do not increase SO_SENDBUF in this use case.
   XORP is not affected by this problem as it preemptively uses SO_SENDBUF
   and SO_RECVBUF to account for any possible additional latency in XRL IPC.
