I talked to Comcast's CTO, Tony Werner, on the enhancements to their traffic shaping system they announced today. In a nutshell, they're going to stop application-centric RST injection, and use the scheduling mechanism in the DOCSIS CMTS instead. I've done a blog post on it: http://bennett.com/blog/index.php/archives/2008/03/27/new-and-improved-traffic-shaping/ IETF purists should rejoice, of course.
