He probably saw benefits from using UDP because he's no longer limited by TCP's congestion control and can flood the pipe with duplicates of his packets.

- dvdkhlng 6y ago> He probably saw benefits from using UDP because he's no longer limited by TCP's congestion control and can flood the pipe with duplicates of his packets. But he wrote that he'd used "TCP over UDP". The first lines of the TCP over UDP spec already state "It provides exactly the same congestion control, flow control, reliability, and extension mechanisms as offered by TCP."
