This is a very important point. Congestion control is extremely important. From what I understand, before congestion control was implemented, the Internet basically died a few times. However, you could just encapsulate TCP in UDP. This would be much simpler than the other ideas suggested in this thread, and it would solve the problem at hand without crippling the network. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
