Actually, I think it is applicable to those large scale senders today. As you point out they generally don't rely on upstream improvemnts for areas like this. Even if it is a dozen different variant algorithms that need to be supported that's an entirely tractable problem.
The contention would be if remy variants can outperform existing algorithms which themselves have tunable inputs like initcwnd srtt/rttvar mss pacing window size etc.
- suprjami 12y agoYou touch on an interesting concept, making a congestion algorithm which is fully tunable. Maybe then the job of calculating the optimal tunables could be moved out to a daemon which does Remy-like simulations to keep the algorithm in optimal state. Obviously we don't yet have the compute power to do that as effectively as Remy in real-time.
