Sorry for top posting, but ... Bigger question: Why would DCCP be deprecated by Linux kernel? Who makes that decision? Who argues against it?
It's a pretty good approach to properly congestion controlling many non-TCP communications protocols that might be implemented on UDP and lack good congestion control otherwise. E.g. QUIC or RTP (for non CBR traffic) or various RPC-style protocols. Larry Peterson recently wrote a piece asking why RPC wasn't well supported in distributed computing even after almost 50 years. Lack of Conception Control that works is a big issue. QUIC ain't it. QUiC is a HTTP replacement for REST protocol sementics. So why discard a good thing that works? -----Original Message----- From: "Stephen Hemminger" <step...@networkplumber.org> Sent: Sun, Jun 25, 2023 at 2:51 pm To: "David P.

DCCP never got widely used, and Linux is on the path of deprecating it. _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list Bloat@lists.bufferbloat.net https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
