Thats the first thin I thought of too when i heard this. Pad the damn thing with zeros...... how hard is that?

Another benefit with padding 0's,

They will compress really well too speeding up transmission just a wee little bit more smile

Hopefully the next time a new networking protocol comes out, they'll make sure to fix this issue. Or the next time they update TCP/IP and the like (if they can get that going)

But the problem itself is not the protocol, is how device drivers are being written and implemented, or am I wrong?

And for our sorry Alec, no one is concern about security in these days. Specially in computer industry... frown
