[e2e] Rateless Internet

[Emmanuel Papirakis]

According to:

http://www.rateless.com.nyud.net:8090/rcx1.html

Universal Congestion Control is an algorithm for transmission speed 
control. It is based on a simple and clean idea. Speed is varied in a 
wave-like fashion. The top of the wave achieves near-optimal throughput, 
while the bottom is low enough to let coexisting protocols like TCP 
smoothly receive a fair share of bandwidth. The time lengths of the 
peaks and troughs can be adjusted parametrically to achieve customized 
levels of fairness between Rateless Internet and TCP.

Is it really possible to acheive TCP friendliness through such techniques ?

Emmanuel
