Subject: Re: FYI - TCP/IP thin stream latency

I was  reading "Removing Exponential Backoff from TCP" by Mondal and Kusmznovic at Northwesetern
in ACM CCR. The paper tries to show that nothing breaks by getting rid of backoff. Interestingly,
FreeBSD already doesn't do backoff until after 5th retry.
