hi

I am new to this mailing list ,so iam not sure if this is the right place 
to ask this question.

Internet traffic is primarily composed of TCP flows ,so isnt it possible 
to take advantage of TCP features, for eg: if threads in a router are 
processing from a given flow and if the router sees that there is a packet 
loss from a flow so it can allocate resources to other flow (bcoz of 
congestion,window size reduces of that flow). I havent come across 
similar work, any pointers in this direction is highly appreciated


Iam a novice to networking so may be i would have missed some important point

Thanking You,
Govind
