- Due to the lack of slow start/rtt measurements, the linux
- tcp/ip code does not play well with others. You should avoid
- using it except on local nets (and preferably not overly crowded ones)
- and over high speed links. Theoretically if enough linux machines
- try talking all at once a local net or two could be taken down.
- The next version (Probably in .98) should correct these
- problems. Sorry for the inconvience (and the spelling).
