And if our TCP Reno implementation had some bugs, what should we change the default to? This is just idiotic logic. These kinds of comments are just wanking, and lead to nowhere, so please kill the noise. If we have bugs in a particular algorithm, we should just fix them. > As to the reasoning that the new algorithms are supposed to act like > Reno, that needs to be verified as well, it's not evident from the > code itself. If you're not convinced and are intrested enough, then you should go verify whether it is in fact true. This is how things work. If you find that it isn't true, great then we'll know about it and have an opportunity to fix the bug. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
