Re: [multipathtcp] LISA - Linked Slow-Start for MPTCP => ICCRG

Hello,
I've tried to ask a naive question at the meeting, but I missed the
chance due to time restriction..

If the paths don't share a bottleneck, i am guessing it might be too
conservative especially when the paths are not competed with other
flows.
I am wondering why this is slightly conservative and doesn't hurt.
Some cases should be true, but I just thought some cases are not.

After all, slow-start is very aggressive anyway - is it really so important for the 2nd, 3rd... subflow of MPTCP to be  *that* aggressive?
