I'd like debian kernel to have CONFIG_TCP_CONG_BIC=y provided that one can easily switch to another algorithm (using /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_congestion_control). could someone please comment on what a good default congestion algorithm setup for distribution kernels is? If you want BIC as default then do as suggested here. My personal opinion is that is the correct thing to do for a standard distribution. Thanks, the suggestion above will be incporated into the next release. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If it is an experimental distribution then turn on tcp advanced congestion control and build the rest (except for BIC) as modules.
