Yes, you can in theory cause microbursting of UDP if you want. I am just not sure which tool I would use to do that. Typical UDP tests like iperf attempt to do perfect timing of packets so bursts are avoided, and they seem to do a fairly good job of it. In contrast, iperf TCP can get awfully bursty. /Benny _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
