FreeBSD 6-STABLE. Route specific send & receive buffer sizes not working?

[Jason Thomson]

or am I missing something?

See attached file below.

route add -sendpipe -recvpipe works on FreeBSD 4.x,  but not on 6-STABLE
(or on 5.4 either - although that's not shown).


I'm trying to set the parameters for specific routes so that I can
properly account for the bw delay product.  (I don't want to do it for
every connection using the global sysctls because these servers can have
many concurrent connections).

Am I doing something wrong?  Or is this a bug?

If it's a bug,  I'll file a PR.
