I am hoping it gets more default traction, especially in wireless where the radio link is a pretty big latency source

How do you implement this for lots of clients and servers that have out of the box implementations? The FastSoft box is a TCP man-in-the-middle box that essentially implements the FAST TCP algorithm without either end having to worry about it. I have also used home-fudged TCP proxies with some success. Some 3G/wireless/VSAT vendors implement their own TCP modification stacks but they usually only fiddle with window sizes and such. -- Leigh ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
