I frankly haven't thought about it any further. You say 1280+ belongs in ITU, and I say 1280- belongs in ATM. Larger packets means fewer interrupts and fewer packets in flight, which is good Moore's law or no. Accommodation of MTU diversity is what matters. Fred fred.l.temp...@boeing.com > Masataka Ohta
