Instead of hacking the nice and working TCP we have now you should move on to greener grass and use $xyzzy instead. It does what you want, at least in the specification. I don't know how many implementors have managed to code it properly.

i remember hearing folks tell vj and mk that when they wanted to speed up tcp. only the value of $xyzzy changes with time; the flat-earth mentality of the enclosing community seems to be a constant.

You see?

no, i think we're shouting past each other at this point, so let's stop.
