A bit of debate is going on right now about how some apps work better if the initial send is full-on, to speed up convergeance onto the full window size. Given all the prominence slow-start has as a good thing for wider Internet scaling, it seems a bit contrairy, but if the protocol exchange in question is going to be over in 2-3 sends anyway, if you don't start full bore, you never get there (so to speak) That might be true for the RPC like nature of 9's use of the network. cheers -George - George Michaelson | APNIC Email: ggm@apnic.net | PO Box 2131 Milton QLD 4064 Phone: +61 7 3367 0490 | Australia Fax: +61 7 3367 0482 | http://www.apnic.net
