-----Original Message----- From: Iljitsch van Beijnum [mailto:iljitsch () muada com] think of is DoS attacks. But that can be solved by only allowing end- users to send an average packet size of 500 (or 250, or whatever) bytes. So if you have a 10 Mbps connection you don't get to send 14000 64-byte packets per second, but a maximum of 2500 packets per second. So with 64-byte packets you only get to use 1.25 Mbps.
You have just cut out the VoIP industry, TCP setup, IM or most types of real-time services on the Internet.
PS. Am I the only one who is annoyed by the reduction in usable subject space by the superfluous [NANOG]?
Yes you are the only one. ;) _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list NANOG () nanog org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog
