<snip>
First, I don't remember if it was Linux or another OS (Solaris?), but there's at least one Unix out there that lies about its packet drop rate, as it its hard coded to 0 in the kernel. In my testing of Slowaris vs. FreeBSD, this appears to be the case.
<snip> It's Linux. It will report that no packets have been dropped when there has been. Thanks, Abe -- Abe L.
