Beyond more profound changes to the underlying transport protocol, bandwidth acceleration can be provide through a combination with fast compression. A good setup here would be to pipe data to `tar`, then `zstd`, then `ssh`/`scp`, and do the reverse on the receiver side. From an end-user standpoint, all this could be abstracted away if one could get `wget` (named in the article) to support zstd compression natively, which is possible since zstd is also a web compression standard. Such compression support is, by the way, available in `wget2`.
