I think it is even worse that you describe, since data are being sent over a single connection and, therefore, must be sent serially. Whatever portion of the system is producing items to be transmitted, the portion that actually does the sending might be slower, such as due to network congestion or a slow host on the other end of the connection. This requires that the producing software feed a queue, for the sending software to do consuming from. d/ ---------- Dave Crocker <mailto:dcrocker@brandenburg.com> Brandenburg InternetWorking <http://www.brandenburg.com> tel +1.408.246.8253; fax +1.408.273.6464
