Re: Reading recommendations

It was very challenging.  I worked on the credit window sizing and
retransmission timer estimation algorithms.  We took into account weather
patterns, size and age of the bird, feeding times, and the average number
of times a bird circles before determining magnetic north.  Interestingly,
packet size had little effect in the final algorithms.

I would love to share them with all of you, but they're classified.
