ectly configured bursts, the saw-toothing affect did not prevent delivery of the configured throughput. This holds up with multiple concurrent transfers. The customer gets whatever bandwidth is available under their cap, and when I look at their bandwidth graphs, they have the ability to saturate their bandwidth to 100% of the configured rate. Works for me and mine. Andy --- Andy Dills Xecunet, Inc. www.xecu.net 301-682-9972 ---
