I'm not from a Cisco background, so forgive me, but.. What a strange way to configure a router. You have to configure it in a non-intuitive way because the intuitive way will blow up the router? I guess we should be thankful that IOS lets us get around hardware limitations of the box, but someone should really teach Cisco a concept called "SMP". Just an observation..
You are correct. The intuitive way does the Right Thing, which is to send back an ICMP packet. The optimization to get that to happen at interrupt time never did happen... mostly due to lack of customer demand. As to the small matter of a Small Matter of Programming, well, it's a lot easier if you're the one asking for it than the one doing it. Tony

Actually, I was talking about "Symmetric Multiprocessing" but that one works too. :) -Jon ----------------------------------------------------------------- * Jon Green * "Life's a dance * * jcgreen@netINS.net * you learn as you go" * * Finger for Geek Code/PGP * * * #include "std_disclaimer.h" * http://www.netins.net/showcase/jcgreen * -------------------------------------------------------------------------
