Though I haven't gotten my hands on it, I believe Windows will soon have this capability, too. I'm sure Windows is big enough that whenever they turn this on, it will flush out all these boxes pretty quickly. We could wait for them to do it first, that that's not my favored approach.
Yes, that appears to be the case with Windows Vista: http://blogs.msdn.com/wndp/archive/2006/05/05/Winhec_blog_tcpip_2.aspx *However*, they're also adding "black hole detection", for working around broken boxes that drop ICMP. And that kinda makes me wonder how long they're going to stick to their guns for enabling window scaling. (For instance, if too many sites break, maybe they'll disable it again with Vista Service Pack 1 or something.) -- -Barry K.
