No doubt you have comparable data on a well-engineered transport to show
us, along with enough supporting data to demonstrate that its good
performance under this particular scenario is not at the expense of
other important scenarios?


Or, perhaps you actually have suggestions to make for TCP standards, to
fix these terrible things you see?

At the least, it will help to have your discussion be very careful to
distinguish implementation vagaries from the standards themselves.
