Re: "rwnd control" as a PEP mechanism

    Could you elaborate in three or four sentences what you mean by "rwnd
control"?

    It looks to me like the post you reference is talking about a change to
the TCP sender and not a PEP.

    In any case, RFC 3135 is a "survey" document and, as such, is not intended
to capture every single possible "PEP" idea. It is just trying to get across
the concepts of the kinds of things that are done by a PEP (and the reasons
why they are used and the consequences of using them)...
