(Tom, not sure you're still(?) on ns-users.)

Alioune's right, and I'm kicking myself for not trying this earlier.
I've only been using FullTcp with my static topologies, after playing
with one-way tcp briefly over your constellations and deciding that my
results were very uninteresting and I could get equally dull results
faster by assuming the constellation didn't move for the most part,
since looking at any transients raises an awful lot of uncontrolled
implementation details-type questions.

Attached is a tiny tarball duplicating what Alioune reports, run on a
snaphot of this week; I've modified sat-iridium.tcl to create
sat-iridium-fulltcp.tcl, and there's an errorlog and the minimal
tracefile showing the sender exponentially backing off attempts since
it doesn't appear to like what it's getting back. I'm not seeing
the 'god packet' errors Alione reports though.

If Alioune and I are going wrong in exactly the same way, I'd like to
know what it is... any ideas?

thanks,

L.
