Unless this is a packet still queued in "the system" for the system to know the packet is 2ms old the system must have a clock reasonably well synchronized with the sender no? SCTP has some idea of discarding old packets as uninteresting - I am not sure if they assume synchronized clocks or if they have done something else. rick jones -- oxymoron n, Hummer H2 with California Save Our Coasts and Oceans plates these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... :) feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
