Hello group,

                 I had a "genius" who dabbles in his own network code say that his Ping response time from client to his server, which is only 3 routers away, was over 80 seconds. At first I thought he meant milliseconds but it actually turned out to be 1 minute and 20 seconds.

Question #1.) Does anyone know the timeout maximum from the ICMP spec? I tried looking up in the RFC but was unable to find it.

Any extraneous comments welcome.

Jerry
