[Semi-OT] Transport resistance to reordering



We've had a few conversations about load-spreading that assumed TCP (and related transports) would respond badly to significant levels of reordering (they respond badly today).

I was chatting about this with Mark Allman, who pointed me towards http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-dcr-05.txt.

I don't think this is ON topic for Shim6, but if people are interested, it's on-topic for tcpm (http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/tcpm-charter.html).

(Since IP stacks have to be updated for Shim6 anyway...)

Thanks,

Spencer
