When viewed as packets per protocol, TCP for Lax3 goes from nil to
around 10%.<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://stats.l.root-servers.org/cgi-bin/dsc-grapher.pl?window=604800&node=lax3&key=tcp&plot=direction_vs_ipproto&server=L-root&yaxis=percent">http://stats.l.root-servers.org/cgi-bin/dsc-grapher.pl?window=604800&node=lax3&key=tcp&plot=direction_vs_ipproto&server=L-root&yaxis=percent</a><br>
<br>
This leads one to assume that for every TCP query, tens times the
number of packets are generated.  Is this correct?<br>
