TCP SACK

Folks,

It's been awhile now that TCP SACK implementations have been available -
see http://www.psc.edu/networking/tcp.html for a list -
and I'm wondering what experience folks have had with the protocol.
What are the behavioral effects on the TCPs using SACK,
TCPs not using SACK, and the overall effects on the network traffic?

There have been a few studies, (again see Matt Mathis' url above and
Sally Floyd's SACK page http://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/floyd/sacks.html), and
there have been some references to simulation work for use of SACK
over satellites on the tcpsat list.
I'm wondering what further experience people might have - ???
   
I've cc'ed the end2end and tcpsat mailing lists - but the intention is to
have any discussion that might arise be on the tcpimpl list- not replicated
on multiple lists.

thanks-
Allyn
