I think the catchy title was meant to grab attention to an important present day issue. But TCP actually does not suck, it's been there for longer than I have and served us pretty darned well up until now. Never forget that when the TCP protocol was designed, the biggest concern we had was that a nuke would land on top of our heads at any minute and the network should keep working. Also, the "Internet" was thought to be a small niche network of networks among the military and academics. I guess this is all well known, it's just my reaction to the editorialized title.
