Closer, but that doesn't seem to be self-tuning - and often one bulk flow 
doesn't fill the pipe any more.

I want to scale up to FTTH and GigE, and down to V.34bis and GPRS - all of 
which are (still) relevant network technologies today - without any error-prone 
parameters to enter except the identity of the server.

Ideally it should be robust enough for use by random ISP technicians, 
regulatory officials and end-users, and the output should be accordingly simple 
to interpret.

So yes, code reuse is great, but only if it does what I need it to.  I need the 
practice anyway.  :-)
