When sending out to a local peer, ethernet and point-to-point devices will buffer the initial burst of packets with the local buffers draining at the speed of the available link bandwidth, so I don't see why you would want to do slow start in this case. This is different than the case of a congested upstream circuit where you don't know about the congestion and have no control over the buffering. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
