Thanks for your information. I will consider bring TFWC to DISPATCH.

I didn't intend it to be charted in this group, but tried to introduce a
better mechanism than TFRC in some cases, which described in my thesis
file - you guys have said that GTalk implements TFRC in video chatting,
so I thought it might be beneficial to you in that context. By the way,
the solutions and some results are documented in my thesis PDF file.

If you guys still think it's clearly off the group's interest, neglect
my message(s) about TFWC protocol.

No, not yet - we are currently preparing for it.

Yes - http://tfwc.hackerslab.eu/download
(NB: it is not a production-level code.)

I guess it is not trivial to support multicast streams with a
window-based CC mechanism, so it (TFWC is a window-based CC) currently
supports unicast only.
