Subject: Flow control scheme

Hello,

   I would like to raise this point as this concerns me terribly. IMHO we
SHOULD have only ONE flow control method in the RFC. We should not have
zallion schemes and leave it at run time to decide. This will end up into
chaos and does not get the job done ie. flow control. What ever scheme
we choose there is should be only one. In the CAPs msg. there will be bit
which will let the other side know if the flow control is implemeted or not.
Thats it. No Menu to choose from.

   Of all the schemes and to be fool proof, we can choose the adaptive window
pacing that is proposed by IBM. We can come to a consensus and then beat to 
death all the intracies that are involved in getting that scheme a standard. 
We can come to the consensus at the AIW meeting at which scheme will be the
ONE that will be part of RFC.

   Once again lets not get into the business of pleasing everybody under the
sun and get all different schemes into the RFC.

 Thanks.

 Lakshman. (DEC)
