TCP needs revamping.
It is a mess of back compat. on back compat. with many performance regressions and security vulnerabilities which shouldn't be there in tge first place.
Personally, I adore development of QUIC and I think it is going to bring alot of good into networking, performence and security.
- SanderNL 3y agoLet’s agree to disagree. I am also not sure what “security” is being touched by TCP (and should be touched by that layer)? Performance could be better, but I’d say pick your battles. I prefer an “eternal” standard than turning everything upside down on a whim every generation for their incessant need to track everything you do and deliver as much ads to you in as little time as possible. Encrypting everything by default on the lowest possible layer is batshit crazy. A sign of our times, not some fundamental technological leap forwards. In 100-200 years we will smack our collective foreheads.
- Turskarama 3y agoI have to agree with this, encryption is an overhead that you just don't need sometimes. I'm imagining an engineer in a HPC organisation in 30 years feeling like a genius for figuring out they can get more performance by removing it.
