I agree that we don't need another survey! However, as one of the
authors of this survey, would you say that there are general
principles that you can state? A discussion on these in this list,
and in person during PFLD, would be very useful.
Looking forward, I think that the goal of this discussion would be to
use agreed-upon general principles to narrow down the field of
potential schemes/mechanisms to consider for a next-generation
congestion control mechanism. In particular, given that Linux/
Microsoft are well on their way to making some schemes de facto
solutions, if we find that these schemes violate agreed-upon
principles, then we should raise this objection with due urgency.
thanks
