[e2e] Speaking of congestion control...

[Michael Welzl]

he he ...and I was just about to ask whether it would be okay
to send one more message for each response I get, until I
reach a certain threshold   :)

Anyway, I don't think that this kind of restriction is
such a good idea, given the amount of spam and meta-spam
we had on this list not too long ago - sure, it's a lot
of traffic these days, but we should be glad it finally
relates to end2end-interest and not spam (even though I
believe I've seen this type of cc. discussions before -
especially the ECN vs. SQ things... perhaps a FAQ would
be a good idea  :)  ).

Cheers,
Michael
