Hi Stig,
My experience is that some applications don't handle delayed or dropped initial packets all that well. This may be okay since it rarely happens, but it's a problem if it becomes the norm.
Yes, this is why I did NERD. But let's please make a distinction between delay and drop. I think they can and should be viewed separately.
