I was testing the patch using a 2.6.23-rc5 kernel after I noticed from reading the changelog that the rto_min change went in there. It would be very nice if it were possible to be in the .23 version of iproute2, but I can easily see where things might be a bit late for that. Meanwhile I'll let the customer know that a way (short of writing their own util I guess :) to set the rto_min will be in at least .24 thanks, rick jones
