Using B2 is probably not as interoperable as you might want it to be.
Resume has been a cause of many failures to complete a peers sending
queue. In that situation, a remote peer will send data, have
connection break, come back and retry later and repeat the broken state.
IN such cases removing B2 from the equation fixes that resume cycle.
Perhaps it would be better if b2 had the ability to disable resume.
Until then my systems will only use B1 or lesser.
Reliability is greater than speed here.
If this HAS been fixed then please someone send a bulletin from the big
3 BBS systems about this. Becuase everytime a new peer does this to me
their stuff gets broken, I have to email to disable B2 and use B1 and
the problem vanishes.
