Bengt, I think he meant the MTU issue where the ITR has to process and forward the packet too big message. If you've merely added some IP options that the source host understands then the source can understand the ICMP error message directly so the system doesn't have to do anything special. There was a long set of threads about this a few months ago. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
