No need for exact number, educated guess/estimation would > be greatly appreciated too. How long is a piece of string? "It depends." And the same is the case for number of interfaces. You obviously need a minimum of three for a router to do anything "interesting" with the packets. Also, it depends on whether you're talking about physical interfaces or logical (sub) interfaces. I'd say anything from 3 to 20 is fairly typical. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
