c) There are numerous heuristics at work with no RFC counterparts (rate halving etc etc). To have the best performance its probably best to stick with RFCs, or if there is a compelling need to have these heuristics then they should be brought to the IETF first. Implementing something based on someone's random publications is not a good idea for an operating as pervasive as Linux.
Wrong. Half of the RFCs have flaws, and if we just would "stick to RFCs" we'd have a lot of problems. Most of things Linux does different are just fixes for these errors in the RFCs. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
