As someone who works with moving packets, it's perplexing to me to 
interact with transport peeps who seem enormously focused on "goodput". My 
personal opinion is that most people would be better off with 80% of their 
available bandwidth being in use without any noticable buffer induced 
delay, as opposed to the transport protocol doing its damndest to fill up 
the link to 100% and sometimes failing and inducing delay instead.

Could someone perhaps comment on the thinking in the transport protocol 
design "crowd" when it comes to this?
