Really? Then I guess Juniper made a mistake chopping every packet into 64 byte packets ;-) . From a hardware standpoint, it speeds up the process significantly. Think of a factory with a cleaver machine, it knows exactly where to chop the pieces because there is a rhythm. It takes no "figuring out." By chopping up everything into set sizes you dont need to "search" for headers or different parts of the packet. It's always at a "set" byte number. Well Ive done a poor job of explaining it, but it does speed things
Oh? No search for headers or parts? That probably explains why they had such difficulties to get the packets out in the same order as they came in...
