Thanks for the info.  Sounds promising.

Yes, the document in question is complete... I was more refering to the lack
of anything much else on CCO.  Just six results for "spd mode"

I just get cautious about commands that aren't documented in the 'main'
command references or in the CLI.  Even though the command was added to
11.3/11.1CC which is a little while ago now.

The comment about "punting them and generating ICMP msgs" - does this apply
to all platforms or just the GSR?  And does this apply to any sort of
strangeness in the TCP/IP header or just the address?

Cheers,
Ray
