Who cares?  You've railed against SMTP+AUTH because it's not a
"standard".  Why do you give a rat's rump about 1546?

Perhaps PPLB becomes more common.  Time for SACK, lest traditional TCP
do bad things.

As for anycast, there's a fair chance people building anycast clusters
will work around PPLB.  Maybe they'll build topologies to avoid
problems.  Maybe they'll have behind-the-scenes unicast intelligence to
deal with TCP session transfer.

I'll leave it at that.  This thread is getting old, and 1xRTT latency
makes SSH uncomfortable.


DA> What can be expected from dumb people?

Frequent NANOG posting.
