BTW, thanks Dan for your response--I hope the resent email is at least a little easier to understand. Maybe the following should be ignored, at least for now, because it seems it would just add confusion to the situation: I do have a spreadsheet of the data I'm collecting (with some other data thrown in--I could trim that out and send that to anybody that thought it would be helpful). <the stuff that should probably be ignored:> So, I guess the possibility that this suggests to me seems backwards--that is, the opposite of what I am seeing. I mean, if somewhere a 1500 byte packet has to be packed into a 1452 byte packet, I suppose something might double the size of the 1452 byte packet and just waste the leftover bytes in the two packets (i.e., 1452 * 2 -1500 = 1404), but the packets are coming in on the WAN side presumably at 1452 bytes and I would think they would fit fine in the 1500 byte packet on the LAN side. (And I'm oversimplifying or misleading a little, because I'm not seeing twice as many packets but instead packets that are twice as big (on the WAN side).)
