The present spec already does some rate limitation, since any client supporting sm could send stanzas as fast as possible and the server just needs to delay the acks. With a large window between acks we can allow small bursts before starting throttling. Therefore I think that the throttling <t/> packet is no more needed, unless we want to enlarge or restrict the window (but I think that reinventing TCP goes beyond the scope of XMPP;) ) -- Fabio Forno, Ph.D. Bluendo srl http://www.bluendo.com jabber id: [email protected]
