Does anyone no more about this situation? Will Microsoft make a new TCP
stack generally available, even on NT, or are they simply experimenting at
this point?
In a similar vein, can anybody comment on the likelyhood of a general release
of code which has a larger initial windowsize in PC platforms? I've heard
an interesting rumour to that effect here, which I'd love to see confirmed.
This is in the context of non-tcpsat usage: simple changes which might improve
end-to-end performance for small-object web transfers, and time to achieve
full window state on the network in general.
I think the days when people would volountarily load an alternate WINSOCK.DLL
like trumpet to get some outcome have gone. It has to come bundled on the CD
and enabled by default, or auto-enabled when needed to be useful in a dumbed-
down world...
