It does so without regards to other traffic, and thus it is not generally fair to other network users. It MUST NOT be used unless the network is designed to actively control it to protect other flows and the Internet at large from its aggressiveness. To protect other flows, the network carring Relentless TCP traffic has to implement Scavenger Service, Fair Queuing, Approximate Fair Dropping, or some other capacity allocation algorithm. To protect the Internet at large the network carring Relentless TCP traffic has to be a physically or logically isolated from the rest of the Internet. Be espically warry of the potential for dynamic routing to choose an alternative path that can not adiquiately contol Relentless TCP. To minimize the risks associated with Relentless TCP, it has to be enabled on a per-connection basis.
