Arun,
i'd say this: MTU exceeded is an "exceptional" (i.e., seldom occurring, i.e.,
approx. at most once per connection) condition, so generating a packet for it
makes sense; whereas, congestion experienced is a "normal" (i.e., often
occuring) condition, so piggy backing on an existing packet (or two) makes
sense.
cheers, Greg Minshall
