One question : did you address the 'arms race' with file sharing application developers ? What I mean is that giving preference to short flows seems like a fine idea until footorrent or whatever comes along that has the strategy of opening zillions of short-lived connections to a large number of servers. Now all the flows are short and there are no long flows to give lower priority to. Thoughts ? (I did read quickly through your thesis but couldn't see anything on this. Apologies if I missed it). _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
