c) There are numerous heuristics at work with no RFC
counterparts (rate halving etc etc). To have the best
performance its probably best to stick with RFCs, or
if there is a compelling need to have these heuristics
then they should be brought to the IETF first.
Implementing something based on someone's random
publications is not a good idea for an operating as
pervasive as Linux.
Wrong. Half of the RFCs have flaws, and if we just would "stick to
RFCs" we'd have a lot of problems. Most of things Linux does
different are just fixes for these errors in the RFCs.
