Re: [ledbat] list of reasons for needing multiple TCP connections

Right.  Also, of course, GridFTP and probably before it bbcp, popular  
in high-energy physics community, use multiple connections to go  
faster -- mainly to get around default buffer size, but also likely to  
benefit from the reduced deviation in throughput with multiple  
connections.
