But perhaps TCP connection handling (for existing connections anyway, so as not to make the router more susceptible to a SYN flood) could be bumped up, at which point you could hand off routing updates into one queue and keepalives into another. I know it's much easier for me to say than it would be to code, but it certainly seems doable and it sure could be a lifesaver during routing storms. -c
