Yes, that would be really nice. 

Also heres another thought: if we can have multiple sockets, destined to
the same receiver, to share the same congestion state. This is motivated
from the CM idea the MIT folks were preaching a few years ago - look at
RFC 3124 and the MIT website which had some crude linux code back then
as well as tons of papers. I think
that scheme may need to hook up to tc to work well.
