Re: nc captures 1024 bytes

nc might be waiting on all the interfaces; enumerating MTUs and choosing the largest
sounds complicated, especially when some interfaces can be configured to receive
jumbo frames. Why not just use something like 64KB as the other user
suggested or something even larger?

Looks like a netcat bug, if it doesn't tune buffers to the interface MTU.

I'm not sure if nc has a 'de facto' maintainer however I believe it is
something which was recently imported into the freebsd base system.

Still, it is better to try to field patches with the upstream maintainer
before filing a FreeBSD PR with your patches.
