Try telling that to customers. Get a router that is reasonably busy during peak times, and you'll get your occasional "know it all wannabe network engineer" who will email in and kindly "let you know" that a link is saturated, or there is packet loss, or a router has a fault because it is too busy to respond to an ICMP echo request. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
