Greetings, all,

For those of you not on maprg@irtf.org, here's an IMC paper on a laboratory experiment on captive middleboxes (from 2010): one datapoint on the need for TCP-like state management in PLUS.

Cheers,

Brian

(The second question is of course hard to answer with active measurement unless you're willing to run DoS attacks.)
