Very nice, but doing this with 1514-byte packets is the low-hanging fruit. (9K packets? That's the fruit that falls off the tree and into your basket while you're napping :-).) The more interesting limit: how many 40-byte packets per second can you shovel into this system and still have all of them come out the other end? Jim Shankland
