Re: Transport control API

Hi,

this discussion (i.e. the one about rate control) does not really belong 
here, I think IETF RMCAT is the right place for it.

How HTTP/TCP download rates behave at the start-up depend at least on the number of TCP connections used, TCP's initial congestion window size (used to be 3 segments, now often more), and the RTT. 3 seconds contains a lot of RTTs on your LAN, but not so many between hosts on different continents.
