Out of curiosity, can someone provide some pointers as to where SACK really helps? Is this just for high-speed WANs and doesn't help on LANs, or is it useful in both contexts? Also, at what speeds/packet sizes does SACK start to become really useful? I'm just wondering if there aren't a lot of people who could benefit from something like this, only they don't know it. If they were to find out, it might help provide funding and other resources to spur development. -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles_at_skynet.be> "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
