Its not just financial. Multicast and unicast audio and video
distribution systems (essentially the made stale by time protcols usu.
affinitized with VOIP). Some years ago some (most?) of the online
multi-user games were gross hacks on top of UDP mostly attempting to
circumvent congestion control.
It sometimes amazes me that a protocol modeled on serial communications
could be dominate for so long. Its really a poor fit for a lot of the
things its (ab)used for.
