The optimal approach to this is to get TCP to accept pluggable congestion algorithms. This was in-progress at Snoracle prior to the barn-door-closing of 2010. After that, putting in new ones SHOULD be straightforward. People who could work on this are likely swamped with other things currently. I imagine pluggable algorithms would be a months-long project, especially given the testing involved (you REALLY don't want to break TCP, or worse, have it become a bad congestion citizen). After that, a specific replacement would be fewer months than the original setup. Sorry I can't be of more immediate assistance, Dan ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
