> Optimizing UDP transmission over internet is an interesting topic.
Can someone summarize the problem in abstract terms? What are the parameters that the algorithm can play with? Packet size and rate of transmission, anything else?
Those two are pretty much it. I believe the ordering of the data transmission can matter as well (i.e. you are about to send 3 packets of 3 different sizes. the ordering might change deliverability behavior.)
I guess I meant it was an interesting topic to me when I read the paper :) It might not be that exciting overall.
