+1 I came up with a new analogy today. Some really like to build dragsters - that go fast but might explode at the end of the strip - or even during the race! I like to build churches - that will stand for a 1000 years. You can reason about stable, deterministic systems, and build other beautiful structures on top of them. I have faith in churches, not dragsters. > > Could someone perhaps comment on the thinking in the transport > protocol design "crowd" when it comes to this? _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list Bloat@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
