      That’s a protocol, not a software library

      TCP does what it does pretty well, no need for replacing that which works fine

        Ehh, TCP has issues with mobile connectivity and is designed around the idea that 1 logical application stream should map to 1 TCP connection, which causes issues.

        But that’s why we’ve got QUIC now.

        Other than that though, TCP is fine. If all you need is simple in-order delivery of a stream of bytes it’s hard to beat.

        And tell me again exactly what the difference is between a protocol and an api, when both are using software that has not been changed for decades? Just curious.

        Besides that, TCP/IP is the worst thing ever for a large network and it only gets worse by the day.
