But, omg, we are not saying this will solve everything.
Neither am I! Figuring out what it can solve and what it can't is on the table.
That's going to take quite some time, I think. Title of email was
"The challenge". Next up is extensive real world tests and tweaking, more simulation, varied workloads.
And it's not
supposed
to be a scholarly paper,
thank ghu
but a proposed solution to a real problem. Guess
Dave and Eric will let us know how real it is.
And andrew is looking at the wobble right now in the ns3 sim. He has some pretty graphs... I love to know if his model matches yours...
I've held off on doing much, I have an unrelated bug that's killing me in reality and
I figure eric has another version soon
We are still tweaking to make sure the streamlined code does what the
old simulator code does. Should be a small update shortly.
Excellent.

The reason I referenced our ancient unpublished work on this in additon to
Matt Mathis's paper is that Van had some nice pictures and explanations in
there.
