It would be a great help for me, if you could (even if just shortly) review the mailtext
and tell me your opinion. Please do not answer the questions in the mail, they're somehow
meant as discussion starters for the netdev list.

I will answer one question you have, to save yourself a lot of time and
effort here:

Hello,
I'm Richard Sailer and I want to implement and maintain an additional
congestion control algorithm for linux,
capable of maintaining high thourghput during persistent packet reordering (TCP-PR).
The main purpose of this mail is to organize, synchronize and
communicate this work *before* I start the coding,
to avoid a situation and patch, you and I would be unhappy with.

Kernel development is done with code, not with lots of talking about
things beforehand.  Please show up with at least a first pass of a
working implementation of your ideas to be taken seriously.

best of luck,

greg k-h
