I believe we can ditch that. I never used them. It is a black magic that works entirely different from OS to OS. And it is really no gain. If you have a system that needs that kind of tuning, you can go do that on the kernel level (most OS'es support tweaking IP options there). So far only a high-speed _and_ high-latency links would need such tuning. A word on knobs... I totaly agree with Stephen! LESS is MORE! The trouble with knobs is they are just an expression of "I do not know". Since we do not know how something will be used, it is easy to throw a switch or a knob there. But it creates problems with maintenance AND deployment. Usually MOST of those knobs just go live their default life. It is our task to define generic and practicable values on them. Perhaps even auto-tuning options. So, YES. Rip it out! Who's the volunteer? If no objections I will have the pleasure... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
