Some. A few links, only one of which sees enough drops for RED to make
eny difference at all. I've been remiss :-(, though oddly enough I've
spent some cycles with it last week, and have some more slotted this
week.
If people are interested this link (unidirectionally) is doing RED'd:
8 paix.bbnplanet.net (4.0.1.50) 80.247 ms 80.399 ms 80.463 ms
9 su-bfr.bbnplanet.net (4.0.1.49) 82.032 ms 81.574 ms 80.578 ms
BTW, if you want to have a numbers-based discussion of your
results, I suggest big-internet.
I suppose we need to come up with some good guidelines for tweaking
parameters...
