A link between two peers B and C, may not naturally sustain the hoped for bandwidth. Active link management, and whole-of-interfaces management, may be required to achieve required b/w and latency stability, e.g.: - In the face of a node in a household with a single ADSL router shared by multiple co-tennants. - In the face of links up/down shaped outside of our control (e.g. by an ISP/ any middle device in the p2p link's physical path) It may be that we shall manifest Internet wide, RFC based, active QoS and traffic management - but that's in the longer term; in the short term, we must optimize for an end user node's present reality. A user space TCP/IP stack provides for experimentation.
