Thank you very much for the very interesting article. Back when I was playing around with the HPN SSH, I was sort-of guessing that HPN SSH would improve my "scp" performance by making improvements in the area of buffer-management and flow-control. I thought this was the most likely place where things could be improved. (I thought this was a reasonable guess, since I was copying files across an entire continent....) Unfortunately, my initial results weren't really any different from unpatched-SSH. Soon afterwards I migrated to a new project where I didn't need to use "scp" nearly as much, so I didn't get to play around with this much more . I would have found it interesting to muck around in this area a bit more. Ah, well... The only point I'm trying to make here is that these patches are very interesting, but they might not be a silver bullet...
