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.
