No one is saying you should use SCP for anything or that it's an alternative to any of the others - none of the tested protocols are practical alternatives to each other. It was included to provide a comparison point for the encrypted version of WeaveNet. Encrypted WeaveNet handled plain TCP traffic at 1,330 Mbit/s. Without the SCP comparison there's no way to tell whether that's really really good or really really bad. Seeing that the unencrypted version of WeaveNet handled SCP at 1,594 Mbit/s shows that it's not horrible, but could probably be better. It's good for WeaveNet folks to know they have some room for improvement and it's good for you because you might want to consider alternatives if you require encrypted traffic and are very bandwidth sensitive.
