To quote a specific case, Sparc/Solaris networking over a tunnel with IP in IP will break, e.g. the largest ping you can do is "ping -s xyz 1452", so you have to reduce the MTU, we lowered ours to 1400 (arbitrary reduction) and it makes the problem "go away". The router in question was running 11.1, but from what's been said, it looks like it's generic across the range. I think the Perl program posted was a great idea, now if only Cisco would add a Perl interpreter to IOS :-) Paul ---- P Mansfield, Senior SysAdmin PSINet, +44-1223-577577x2611/577611 fax:577600
