Thanks for the great link! It kept me up all night.

I managed to crash the server running out of memory.  Don't ask what numbers 
I used, I just went overboard.  I played with these numbers before, but 
never imagined that their scale would be in the millions.

Could you suggest sane values for 2.4/2.6 on a 100mbit link?

Thanks!
