Given the latency we've seen over some ATM backbones, I certainly hope not. I
agree with Paul that MTU sizes in gigabit ethernet make it very
attractive as a next step, I'd certainly be interested in seeing anything
anyone has on fragmentation related delays going from a large MTU switched
environment to a small MTU switched environment though. Overall, I've
been less-than-pleased with latency when I've been transited that way.
