I have a question about an older UDP-based protocol. I was wondering for a long time whether UDT is worth it and in which scenarios. Has somebody tried it or is it kind of outdated?
- dangerface 9y agoUDT solves problems tcp has with congestion especially at 10Gbit+, this gives it a much higher throughput that tcp and pretty much anything else at 10Gbit+. I don't think it did much to fix latency issues which I think quick is more focused on. If you are interested in low latency protocols you should check out minimaLT[1] better performance than QUIC but the connections are portable across ip's so its better for mobiles, and can tunnel multiple connections together. DJB helped out with design so you know its super secure. [1] https://cr.yp.to/tcpip/minimalt-20130522.pdf https://cr.yp.to/tcpip/minimalt-20130522.pdf
