Well, that is all fine and well if the device with the RFC1918 address is the one screaming "Too Boocoo!" but if it's some other box trying to tell it that the packets are too bug, no dice. Non-routable address.

If you mean "if some device tries to tell the RFC1918 box the packet is too large", this is correct. However, the same reasoning shows that *ANY* session opened between an RFC1918 box and a random host on the Internet will break as well. I suppose you could be talking about a one-way transmission of data from the RFC1918 box to a random host. If so, yes, you are SOL. I just don't see a whole lot of that. ;) TTFN, patrick I Am Not An Isp www.ianai.net "Think of it as evolution in action." - Niven & Pournelle
