Greetings,
In my travels I have heard numerous times that it is a popular practice to give ICMP and even UDP traffic a lower priority on backbone routers in times of congestion.
ICMP in general is or should be given higher priority, since it is necessary for congestion control. Echo requests (pings) could be thrown away, but the rest is necessary. --Dean ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Plain Aviation, Inc dean@av8.com LAN/WAN/UNIX/NT/TCPIP http://www.av8.com ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
