Well, there are hundreds of thousands of completely ad-hoc solutions
of varying degrees of effacy.

Getting it down to mere hundreds would be be a good start.

Oh, I agree.

I appreciate the rapidity as problems have been found, as fixed.
I mean, I only saw ECN actually start to work as advertised a month or
two ago, and the results were very promising, as shared on the bloat
list....

Well, funding this work would be a great thing for everybody, and
we're working on it, and boy do we appreciate the volunteerism as it
stands.

Everybody, including me, is basically working for free here, (I'm
leveraging the lab at gatech and am (now) making a little money
supporting their bismark effort, but just a little) - but fixing the
internet as a whole is a worthy goal, don't you think? It beats
building web sites....

AWESOME! I was going to get DRR working in my next build and series of
test runs. And look harder at HSFC than I have as yet.

I'm told the latest iproute2 code will be out soon, once all those
pieces are in place, I can beat them all up, pretty good, in the lab.
