No sources, no email addresses, I am tempted to drop in on the conference
to see if any source is available.

There are a lot of ideas in there that I have been advocating a while -
varying the pacing rate (e!) to get an early estimate of congestion - and
quite a few more newer ones that seem excellent, like just treating the
leading edge of an ack as part of the estimator.  Love how well it competes
with itself!

It's just a paper... no sources... agggh....
