Spoiler: they have only shown that existing algorithms can't always avoid starvation, not that such algorithms don't exist.

Spoiler: they have only shown that existing algorithms can't always avoid starvation, not that such algorithms don't exist.
- Sakos 4y agoFrom the article: > While Alizadeh and his co-authors weren’t able to find a traditional congestion control algorithm that could avoid starvation, there may be algorithms in a different class that could prevent this problem. Their analysis also suggests that changing how these algorithms work, so that they allow for larger variations in delay, could help prevent starvation in some network situations.
- bornfreddy 4y agoYes. The title is misleading though, these are not roadblocks, just imperfections of existing solutions.
- davidgrenier 4y agoProudly, I thought I had identified a pun.
- headsoup 4y agoRoadblocks can be removed...
- sixbrx 4y agoRoadblocks don't block hypothetical flying cars either though.
