Are you sure 3 bytes to get 4 byte alignment is really the best? I was thinking that adding 1 byte to get 2 byte alignment might be better, since it would then ensure that the subsequent TCP header winds up being 4 byte aligned. Or is this in fact not the desired trade off, and so I should stick with the 3 bytes you suggested? Jason
