However, forging RST packets I am NOT OK with, as it undermines the basis of TCP/IP. Slow down my bit torrent packets, I don't care, just don't sever the connection completely (especially not with forged replies).

If the network is being heavily used and large groups of people are going to be affected, then get the top 5-10% of users and slow down their speeds until the congestion is over. Better that 5-10% of customers get slowed down than 100% of customers get slowed down. Of course, improving their network capacity is the better, long term solution. -- -Jason Levine Support a children's charity. Buy a calendar. Shooting For A Cause Jason's Toolbox \| PCQandA.com
