If I were in a bad mood, I'd say that the three of us prefer simple, robust solutions that solve actual problems to complex, brittle hacks that are not going to be implemented anyway. > Think about the routing problem.

Happy eyeballs (or MP-TCP, or MP-QUIC, or MP-Mosh) uses the services provided by source-specific routing. They work in combination. (Come on, Ted. You already knew that.) > Are you targeting a cheaper, less capable device than this? If so, can > you talk about why you think that's important for Homenet? This has nothing to do with the amount of flash or RAM. It has everything to do with having protocols that can be implemented in finite time and with a only a finite number of bugs, and with building networks that can survive whatever bugs remain. -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
