Let, me add a few more thoughts, and see what others think... * I also have a problem with how to find "s" when thinking about an "unknown" application. I'm not really sure how this is intended to work for variable-sized packets. Calculating an average value for an application that naturally varies the size doesn't seem to me to be straight-forward. One value of "s" that makes sense, is possibly the largest segment size sent by the session. This is at least conservative - for fixed-sized flows it is identical to the optimum "s". For bursty flows, it is safe.
It is actually the opposite of what you say here. If you do the maths and set s large then you can send more packets per second than what you should be able to. -- Ian McDonald Web: http://wand.net.nz/~iam4 Blog: http://imcdnzl.blogspot.com WAND Network Research Group Department of Computer Science University of Waikato New Zealand - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dccp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
