Brent,

Are you claiming that it's acceptable for a protocol to have to be
tuned by the user in order to avoid congesting gateways or even to
work *at all*?

Are you also claiming that it's acceptable for someone writing an
application using a remote procedure call package to make packet sizes
user-visible?

There's no excuse for explicitly using UDP fragmentation.  It will get
you into trouble.

By the way, Brent, please check your facts.  SUN RPC does NOT
encapsulate multiple request or response packets into a single UDP
packet.. NFS merely makes larger single requests if told to do so.
