This will effectively triple the number of packets that routers have to do processing on, that's why. Frankly, the whole thing is stupid. I didn't say this earlier, but Microsoft has about the most abominable stacks out there. Their boxes STILL don't handle recieving fragmented packets correctly (a requirement of the RFCs!) and they have a host of flaws. I wish they'd get their act together. Perry
