I suppose you've already considered the fact that one of these "super-datagrams" might have several sets of TCP or UDP headers in them, due to the conglomeration of "fragments" that the receiving IP will perform? I expect that will cause most TCP/IP implementations to become deathly ill. Ross Patterson Rutgers University Center for Computer and Information Services
