There is, however, the spectre of there being so many SYNs flying around that they alone might cause congestion collapse. I dunno if I should be frightened of that or not, but I am not one of your origin server friends. --:)
i'm not worried about the syn's so much as i am worried about the lack of interstream resource planning. in all of the popular desktop stacks, a new tcp stream does its own slow start...
This isn't a desktop stack issue this is a server stack issue. even though the d.t. opens the connections, the server is the one sending all the data and the server is the one doing all the slowstart, ca/c, etc, etc.
