Not really, since those names are not particularly meaningful, and were mostly just invented by the researchers who were pushing their particular agendas. ``Vegas'' is Larry Peterson's version, ``NewReno'' is Janey Hoe's version, and so on. We can all agree that ``Reno'' is the version of TCP that was shipped in 4.3BSD-Reno, which was effectively an early beta of 4.4BSD but also the first official BSD release to contain the complete set of VJ congestion-control and -avoidance algorithms. If you look in the Stevens books, he had a completely different set of names. If there's a specific set of features which you need, we can tell you if FreeBSD implements them. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
