> (Most OS's don't do 2861, and it is not a standard.) Are you so sure? Doing cwnd timeout largely predates the congestion window validation work, in fact by several years. In RFC 2581, it mentions Van Jacobson's recommendation of this idle period behavior, as just one example. Your arguments about "all the feedback mechanisms are in place, so not reducing the cwnd after idle doesn't hurt congestion control" could be applied to the packet retransmit timeout handling of the congestion window, and I think that's kind of silly. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
