Hi Andy,

I don't know.

However this seems a good opportunity to remind people that
AARNet will as usual be proving a 1Gbps link from linux.conf.au
to universities and national labs in the USA and beyond.
Netdev people are welcome to hammer this if they want to test
performance on a real-life long fat pipe (minimum RTT > 200ms).

If you particularly want some feature (IPv6, multicast,
whatever), some engineering detail, a real worst case RTT
(Perth-Sydney-Seattle-New York-Amsterdam-Tomsk @ 1Gbps) or
some office space before/after the conference then drop
me a mail.

There are two well-educated users of fast long-distance
networks in Melbourne doing transfers for physics and
astronomy applications. If the application/TCP interaction
is of interest then I can arrange an introduction.

Best wishes,
Glen
