Hi Yangxin,

As you can see, I am catching up on my support email :-:

Yes, this is possible.  In fact, we have seen several other examples of
pointing out instances of port 388 packet shaping that mysteriously
disappeared when the network folks were confronted with proof that
the packet shaping was discovered.  This kind of situation is a bit
frustrating since those responsible for the packet shaping never
admit that they were doing something that interrupted the flow of
legitimate data between organizations.

Very good.

I think your plan is excellent!  Please keep us all informed about the
results!!

Cheers,

Tom
