Hi Ron, >From the draft: "This field represents the total length of all options contained in the ICMP Extension Structure. It does not include the length of the Extension Header. The length is measured in bytes. Legacy implementations set this field to 0." Alternatively, could the length be s

Tom, the LTP protocol presents its segment acknowledgements in the form of segments themselves such that each one is sent out as a separate conventional IP packet - that is just the way the protocol works. But, to your point, the IP parcels spec says that the IP parcel segment size must be 256 o
