What the fuckety fuck
Ok, so, another protocol that is "not TCP". I do think there have been several proposal during the last ten years.
From the CERN courier, Nov 2005:
Theoretical models now exist for alternatives to TCP that can be mathematically proved not to cause congestion collapse, and work is ongoing to test these models experimentally. Some of these alternatives promise to balance traffic across the Internet, and to deliver high data rates and much better quality of service for services like voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) and live video - all at the same time. It seems likely that these theories will find their way into the mainstream Linux and Windows kernels within the next five years or so, and we hope that they will serve for many years to come.
Indeed. Why is this "based on UDP"? Doesn't that make it UDP? There is a "protocol" (IPv4) and "next header" (IPv6) field in the IP packet, use it!
More important, where is the RFC?.
