Is it possible in your network? Such an error may be: one of receivers requires some delay between end of one packet and start of the next, and the transmitter which sends to it sends with smaller delay. Of course there are standards, and as far as they are met it is impossible, but a question is if they are met. Other possibility is that such a bridge has insufficient buffer to store next packet while previous is still kept. Regardless of what is the reason, a method to find source of the problem is analysing packets on various places on the cable. Maybe it is good idea to check error counters on sending and receiving hosts before doing it, for a case the malfunctioning device is net device of any of them. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
