Because you are connecting to the same destination; the conditions in the network are unlikely to vary significantly over the (short) timescale during which the information is cached. You can disable the caching by using the `route' command to set a lock on the ``ssthresh'' route metric for the route(s) in question. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
