No. This is a classic disruption story. While the establishment is smug and comfortable about the accumulated cruft of decades, others are working on the problems they're completely ignoring. Check out my other comments in this thread.
- inopinatus 10y agoIf there is to be disruptive change, it will be a new protocol that solves global-scale problems the old one did not. The automobile did not depend on the horse. An incrementally better TCP implementation will not disrupt TCP. Unfortunately a large portion of protocol development seems to be occurring at the application layer even if it doesn't belong there, which is how we ended up with HTTP/2 and WebSockets.
