[R-C] Interesting reference: "thin, fast" vs "thick, slow" data streams research project

[Michael Welzl]

Hi,

Well; my colleague Andreas Petlund from Simula Research Lab here in  
Oslo got this national project accepted. The text at the reference is  
a typical project-start public announcement, i.e. work on the stuff  
described here *will* happen (and hence it cannot be more concrete and  
detailed). There is also a larger counterpart project, also led by  
Andreas, currently under negotiation, so I think we're all bound to  
hear more from him, and get our latencies reduced more and more!   :-)

If you're interested in things that *have* happened, laying the  
foundation of this project, there is some concrete technical stuff  
there - Andreas has already worked on latency reduction for TCP  
traffic ("thin streams", as he and his Simula colleagues Carsten  
Griwodz and Pål Halvorsen call it) in his Ph.D. thesis, and  
contributed some related TCP modifications to the Linux kernel. His  
bibliography is at: http://simula.no/people/apetlund/bibliography

Cheers,
Michael
