Jeff, would you or anyone give an example or two of when you get PARTIALLY filled ATM cells? I've interviewed dave sincoskie, steve tabaska, and Stephen von rump so far. they all rather like ATM. Don't believe I heard about this problem from them. You aren't talking about the switch not being able to tell whether a cell is mangled before it transmits by any chance are you?????
Since TCP/IP packets are of variable length, the last ATM cell for the packet will not be full. The remaining bytes in the cell are wasted bandwidth. Gary Wright --------------------------------- gwright@connix.com TCP/IP Illustrated Volume 2 ----- http://www.aw.com/cp/Vol2.html
