PS - a recent Internet Draft discussed the issue of TCP connection control, and aggregation across bottleneck links (although not the primary issue of the draft): draft-touch-tcp-interdep-00.txt The general conclusion we reached was that there is a good argument for controlling some of the parameters of multiple TCP connections to account for aggregate behavior, such as the graceful behavior over bottlenecks you describe. This is the case not only for multiple TCPs from a single host, but also for multiple TCPs from a set of hosts with a similar path. This is a problem that should be addressed anyway; once addressed, the need for persistent HTTP weakens even further.
