Darren do you have an example of how this would be implemented? Which UDP type of protocols should it be used for and so forth?
NFS possibly? Radius traffic? Proprietary communication between servers in a cluster that communicate over UDP? This would seem handy to use especially for connections that last longer than most types of UDP packets that are short and sweet (eg. DNS is basically packet in and packet out type of thing). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Reed Sent: Friday, November 25, 2005 5:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: IPFilter Subject: Re: Second question..

It controls the forward/reverse timeout for packets. This is primarily of benefit with UDP/ICMP. Darren
