Because end-to-end system engineering is hard, it natural to focus on the problem at hand. Is this a repeat of the story, "we don't like slow start and flow control so let's open lots of connections". _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
