Where "load" is either one of the connection : slots, or actual kernel resource load if I have 20% packet loss and thus : cause a lot of retransmissions to occur. Hmmm. A thought just occurred to me. There's no need to measure these things. Lookup all the IP addresses. Do a non blocking connection to each of these machines. First one to come back with the REL16_1 response wins, and all the others get closed and you use that one.
