Blocks and Packets...I'm confused....

[Krish]

Is a block the same thing as a packet? For instance, right now I have 26 packets in my buff out. RC5 says that 26 RC5 packets = 832 WU's for me. I know that this'll change depending on your packet size (28-33). Can someone tell me what a block is the equivalent of? Thx.

A WU and a block are the same thing. A packet contains anywhere from 1 to 32 blocks.

Thx for the clarification, Russ.

Need to add this to the tutorial/FAQ.
