Knowing the pipe isn't being shared with other traffic, one can "tune" backoff and slow-start without worry about being cooperative... Yeah, it's still TCP. A sprint car with 250 deg @ 0.050" lift camshaft, 5.13:1 rear gears, and different left/right tire sizes is still a car. Both are about as useful in the real world. IOW, it's fun, but the focus is too narrow and certain parameters are totally incompatible with production requirements. I'd like to see a contest that attempts to maximize throughput _and_ simultaneous session count using a random mix of simulated client pipe sizes.
