Presumably, the EE and Imp-to-imp protocols also consume the INTERNAL
resources of the network while they are doing this managing.  Is there
any evidence to assure us that these protocols are a net performance
win over a simple, lean and mean best-efforts datagram service, which is
all that IP/TCP wants and can use?
  What is the best reference to understand how these protocols manage the
network resources, particularly in dealing with network congestion?
Thanks,
David Cheriton
