I don't think an equivalent alternative to Aspera will emerge due to IP encumbrances that will remain for longer than it will take QUIC to become an alternative

I don't think an equivalent alternative to Aspera will emerge due to IP encumbrances that will remain for longer than it will take QUIC to become an alternative to Aspera's FASP.

- wmf 2y agoIMO IBM is unlikely to sue open source developers. I agree that QUIC with tuned aggressive BBR could be pretty fast.
- adolph 2y agoAgreed that direct legal action is low risk but until/unless IBM openly supports alternative implementations there is some unknown nonzero level of risk. In my mind the natural incubator for such a QUIC capability is within the S3 user community. However since it seems useful and hasn’t happened yet I wonder what is going on.
