Tom, the value to Paul is not performance related, but an ability to resolve an IP to GID without requiring a TCP/IP implementation, I can think of some applications that would like thin client and still use Valid IPs Anyway as I mentioned the ATS support is just one (very minor) thing in the API we proposed, can I assume you don't have comments to the main functionality in ib_at ?
