That is absolutely correct---the subsequent connections do not do anything differently with a static IW. But, that may well be perfectly fine. E.g., the other 999 connections may be going to 999 different destinations and the shared portion of the path may not be the problem and those 999 connections may work perfectly. E.g., the loss in the first connection may have been transient and even if the connections are going to the same recipient the same process may not repeat 999 more times. And, of course, you're right that the first connection might be telling of things to come. Your presumption is that there is much opportunity to share state across connections and that is useful in preventing issues. But, thus far this has all been done with cooked up scenarios. What is the real opportunity here? I'd love an adaptive scheme that got us out of the business of doing our best to make informed guesses about what the IW should be every so often. But, before I buy it I'd have to see some evidence that such a scheme existed that could really in fact get us out of that business. allman
