He is leading the session on Network Management in the March 87 TCP/IP Interoperability conference and like Diogenes is stil looking for the truth... I remember his presentation and was awestruck at the level of implementation detail he sought in order to get a suitable baseline of statistics for monitoring the health of the "network". (All of the statistics he asked for do essentially exist in any real implementation because of the retransmission requirements of TCP.) Dan -------
