my congestion control alarm went off.
after reviewing the document, it's still ringing.
There's nothing in the document that says "if you want to send 4000
requests, and 70 out of the first 100 get lost, you should slow down
your sending rate to that server".
The word "retransmit" does not occur in the document.
The word "packet loss" does not occur in the document.
The word "congestion" does not occur in the document.
Session control is why we have TCP.
Tell us where 'retransmit', 'packet loss' and 'congestion' appear in DNS,
DHCP or some other UDP-based protocol documents and I'm sure author of
this spec will be happy to put something similar in his document.
You asked for it...
DNS: RFC 1035 section 4.2.1
DHCP: RFC 2131 section 4.1
When I thought this protocol was about sending occasional queries, I
didn't worry too much, but Andy indicated that it could be used in
applications that would send a *lot* of queries, too.
