True, but actually many implimentations assume 1500 as that is the maximum xmit size for ethernet. 512 is sometimes used on dialup and lossy lines where reliability is degraded. Keep in mind the smaller you make each packet, the lower your throughput due to overhead. ~ Signal 11 _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
