Set larger kernel TCP send and receive buffers and enable BBR congestion control. Speed will usually be good also across high latency links, and no multiplexing logic needed. Especially if you control both sides of the connection.
- KaiserPro 2y ago> Set larger kernel TCP send and receive buffers and enable BBR congestion control I mean yeah, but that requires having access to the kernel config. so for most people multiplexing TCP is a useful way to maximise a link, without having to fiddle with stuff that is a pain to deploy. (politically as well as logistically) I deployed this "technique" before BBR was a thing. It worked well enough for what I needed it to do (move large images from London to California) It was pretty simple to engineer as well (mainly because I didn't have to make a fancy custom error detection/correction/rate limiting system over UDP )
