There are sugestions in the soon-to-be Host Requirements RFC which
deal with this problem. Another technique which was implemented in
a telnet server was to provide a hook so that TCP knew the baud
rate of the user's terminal.  I.e., when the user said something
like "terminal speed 9600", the telnet server was notified by the
OS, and in turn notified TCP.  TCP then generated packets (er..
"segments") at the "right" rate. Maybe such techniques are now
covered by "slow start".
