Dave -

For IP if you wish.

I talked to Comcast's CTO, Tony Werner, on the enhancements to their
traffic shaping system they announced today. In a nutshell, they're
going to stop application-centric RST injection, and use the scheduling
mechanism in the DOCSIS CMTS instead. I've done a blog post on it:

IETF purists should rejoice, of course.

Cheers,

RB
