Three flows.

Manu, how do you want to implement fair queueing on a backbone router 
with actually 200.000 flows? 150.000 of them being "mice"?

At least this question should be discussed for both kind of approaches, 
VJCC and DTCP.

So to my understanding, neither VJCC nor DTCP separates the problem of 
resource allocation from the problem of congestion control, nor do they 
eventually /solve/ the problem of (fair) resource allocation.

To my understanding, many of us recognize the problem of a missing 
(convincing) resource allocation scheme here and replacing VJCC by a 
scheme which runs into the same difficulties as VJCC is a bit beating 
about the bush.
