We've had this discussion very many times. Both the maximum number of  
routes routers can hold at any time in the future and the number of

latter.

If I'm on the same shared medium as you I can kill your SSL session  
with one packet.

So when is the last time you sent an ICMP source quench? Or set any  
of the low delay / high reliability / high throughput bits in the IP  
header?
