One set of circumstances was mentioned here once. It's possible for ARP cache entries to sometimes expire between polls of a server on the local network. In that case, some polls will and others will not incur a delay while the MAC address is retrieved, increasing jitter. Burst can alleviate that. This is not a problem for most people. > When in doubt, DON'T!! Good advice.
