Hi all,
I guess this is somewhat unrelated to the thread's maing topic but
the paper that Christian mentioned is available to everyone (as
well as all papers from SIGCOMM since 91) through SIGCOMM's web site.
The exact pointer for the paper mentioned below is
http://www.acm.org/pubs/articles/proceedings/comm/115992/p53-tsuchiya/p53-tsuchiya.pdf
regards,
-andreas
