Hmmm....
Two things I suppose:
* I didn't realise it was "that recently" that MTU discovery
came in - OOI do you remember when this was?
* I hate a load of things about TCP/IP and one of them has to
be the way these things are kludged together - there are
much better ways to do packet size calculations than trial
and error :P *cough*ATM*cough*[0]
