However, what we are talking about with WS is a case where it is definitely nonzero, and is a full roundtrip, at least. So in that case the cost-benefit is much different than it is for the TCP case. > Anyway, if anyone has any complaints about this approach, I’d like to hear > it. I’ve made several complaints. You may not find them to be valid; there’s not much I can do about that, except deviate for my implementation. That’s essentially the situation I’ve resigned myself to on several points, but unfortunately the list seems to be growing.
