There are no rules for congestion control etc. in the NFS or SunRPC protocols, so the server is supposed to be able to cope with whatever the client manages to throw at it. I presume, though, that you are not seeing the 2.4.x NFS server die in this way when you blast it with a 2.5 client? Cheers, Trond
