What about VOIP? H.323, RTP, etc.? This is big of course. All the SIP/RTP stuff is largely UDP. Most P2P control is via UDP. I think i did read somewhere on measurement taken in backbones showing consistent rise of UDP:TCP ratio (need to search my bookmarks). It borders on lunacy to assume TCP only. Time to get an open source NIC out there and ignore these big players? ;-> cheers, jamal
