:Hint: If everybody turned on TCP keepalives, what percentage of the
:traffic on Internet backbones do you think would be keepalive
:packets?

:NLynx Systems, Inc.

    Around 0.02%, using the stats from one of BEST's busier servers.
    That's percent.

    In otherwords, nobody would notice.  You wouldn't notice, the backbones
    wouldn't notice... nobody would notice.
