Hi,

My question isn't very constructive but I'd like to know more about this 
topic. Have you seen this:

http://blog.benstrong.com/2010/11/google-and-microsoft-cheat-on-slow.html
http://developers.slashdot.org/story/10/11/26/1729218/Google-Microsoft-Cheat-On-Slow-Start-mdash-Should-You

? In short: is the existance of slow-start a property of (New)Reno and 
will some of the new algorithms make it less "cautious", i.e. faster? I 
don't think it's critical but I'm often noticing it, especially on bulk 
transfers over LAN.
