Some sort of "always", correct. The worst case scenario with IBB is ending with an unusable connection if the server starts throttling packets, thing I bet will happen as soon as IBB becomes widespread. In Bruxelles we discussed about the possibility of sending an early warning to the client with a packet from the server asking to limit the rate. This is far better then a fixed bitrate, since it allows severs to dynamically allocate bandwidth accordingly to actual usage. -- Fabio Forno, Ph.D. Bluendo srl http://www.bluendo.com jabber id: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
