By loading the images in parallel over multiple TCP connections, you
also totally screw the TCP congestion avoidance mechanisms, and hurt
the net as a whole, especially given how prevalent HTTP is these days.
Unfortunately, as has been seen here, very few people working with the
net these days actually understand the details of things the net
depends on, and TCP congestion avoidance is one of them.
Thank you, Perry!
Hey, why bother with that congestion control stuff? It just makes the
users complain about slowness.... Just spew the packets as fast as you
can, like RealXXX, and screw everybody else.
The sooner Fair Queuing is installed (it has been in many smaller
vendors' products for 5-6 years, why has Cisco taken so long?), with
RED (again, this is several years old), the sooner the blackguards can
be bumped out the way of well-behaved applications.
This is supposedly an operations list. So, everyone, when are you
configuring it in _YOUR_ Cisco?

Ebone will be deploying code that does RED in CEF in
approximately nine hours. I expect BC and I will be
playing with RED most of this week, seeing how the Cisco
implementation does on congested high-speed and sometimes
high-delay interfaces where traffic is very heavily aggregated.
I am not sure anybody else has done this yet (jhawk?)
although there is some positive experience with RED on
slow interfaces.

Even better, how am I configuring this on my Bay ASN?

Not everyone uses Cisco.
Some of us use Bay, others are home-brewed GateD on PC/unix,
still others are Ascend GRF. I think, though, that covers
everything
ISP's use (ignoring dialup servers).
Nanog is not a cisco user group -- remember who owns GateD these
days.
