[e2e] Multiple TCP-friendly Sessions and Cong. Control in user-mode?

[Shivkumar Kalyanaraman]

So, I read the community consensus is that we do not care about
per-user or process unfriendly provided we are per-connection
friendly (and/or we cannot do anything about it anyway)...

Sounds consistent. But, is this argument well recognized in the brave new
world where applications run over UDP/RTP and do their own CC? Are
application developers implementing congestion control at the app layer ?
How far is the CM or other approaches gaining traction with end-system
designers?
