Re: An alternative to TCP (part 1)

[Keith Moore]

Bob,

I think I attended that BOF, but if I recall correctly I came away from
it thinking that the group had based its conclusions on a fairly narrow
set of assumptions about the nature and use of that protocol; change
those assumptions slightly and it gets much more feasible. 

At any rate I don't see that this would have to be an entirely different
transport protocol; it could be implemented using TCP options.  If the
server didn't support them, it would degrade to ordinary TCP.
