In my opinion, science is not about listing buzz words but science is, and I may quote Dave Reed here, about asking questions and finding answers to them. In that respect, even the "comparison" "RED vs. DropTail" is comparing peaches and oranges. Why don't you, ore Anjali respectively, properly phrase the problem, you want to investigate? In the next step, one could list approaches which deal with the mentioned problem and, assumed there are any, assess them and perhaps come to the conclusion, that a new approach is needed. However, science is about finding answers to questions. This short discussion is a bit finding questions to available answers.......
