Check http://cnn.com/TECH/computing/9805/26/net.access.idg/index.html Those bozos are suggesting to reduce MTU from 1500 to 576 to "improve performance", so packets "won't fragment in backbones"! The bright idea to fix CTS/RTS setting didn't come along in their brilliant minds. Here goes the average packet size. Down the drain... Now what do we do to control the damage? I also think it's a good time to measure the gullibilty of the general public by measuring packet size distribution :) --vadim
