Yes I saw that, thanks.
The current inclination of the authors is to ditch the ping during idle intervals, so if you have any feedback, that would be great.
Yes I agree - pings make the implementation much more complex. I'm not intending to implement them.
The big need for Faster Restart is simulations/experiments to make sure that the burden imposed by the extra aggressiveness does not lead to any completely dire consequences during times of high congestion (e.g., when everyone is bursty, everyone has idle periods, and everyone is using Faster Restart...)
My tests probably won't be so much in this area. More around the area - does it help with media after times of idle, where currently they get hit hard. Others can use the code, of course, to do their own experiments.
Take care, - Sally http://www.icir.org/floyd/
