The above talk of making "lots of TCP connections look like a big pipe" sounds
once
again like attempting to get around congestion control in the network... I know
we
had this conversation before.. but what is stated above strongly implies this
.... and
I don't think this is the behavior one would want on the Big I-internet. I can
see
a private network doing this ... but I don't see how it could be supported in a
standard manner that can be used on the Iternet...
