Others have pointed out a database would work for common packets and yet others have pointed out much beyond that scope the idea is not feasible.
I have another question. Would moving the TCP stack to base 32 double traffic ? We have enough alphanumeric characters to do so. Perhaps a designation of 1x000 instead of 0x000 to define the difference in base 32 to base 16 respectively. Or am I missing something you uber math types can explain to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ All message scanned for viruses with Clam Antivirus. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
