There's "frowned upon" and "frowned upon". :-) For instance, if the only reason it's discouraged is because it causes connections to start running slower, then I would consider that something worth rethinking. If there are cases where it actively causes issues for the far end stack, then it probably should be avoided. That RFC is old enough that it's worth double checking that the recommendations still make sence today. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
