They have, however, to convice their superiors that upgrading two (three, five, twenty?) Firewall boxes from a 99% running IOS into a newer, untested [1] version to benefit 1% (1%? Oh, come on. 0.1% I would say) of their users from an IETF experimental feature. I wouldn't boot a box that runs 90 MBit/s traffic for 24/7 on such an occasion. You want ECN? Get DaveM to join Microsoft and push out MS Whistler with ECN enabled and just an obscure Registry Entry to turn it off. You will have ECN in a blink implemented everywhere. Regards Henning [1] as in "inhouse tested and works". I would not trust Cisco Release Notes on such boxes. ;-) -- Dipl.-Inf. (Univ.) Henning P.
