Ie, % of packets with > 1500 MTU, % performance degradation if fragmented, etc. I suspect that other backbone design issues (like congestion) dominate any fragmentation issue. I'm not sure a few people trying to get a little extra throughput should dictate the design of a NAP (unless they want to pay for it). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
