I thought about that, but I know of applications where traffic is sorted in "small", "medium" and "huge", where "small" is significantly less than a megabyte, so I think the units should in the kilobytes rather than megabytes range. Just to throw a number out there: Smaller than 32k. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
