Hello Thanks for your reply. But this can create problems in some of the cases. For example, "scp" over TCP starts with TOS 0, then goes to 8 (bulk data). What happens is that when RTOs are cached, they are updated for TOS 8 and not for TOS 0, therefore a new connection does not pick up the cached RTO.
Does this make sense ?
Thanks, -- Rajeev (Again, please cc replies to rajeev@akamai.com)
