I can think of a lot of things this could be good for that aren't web servers.
I didn't see it clearly treated in the documents at the linked site: is out of order packet delivery supported? I see they they use multiple streams to avoid head of line blocking, but within a stream, can packets be delivered out of order?
- aidenn0 11y agoThis looks like purely a stream protocol, so at the transport layer, there are no "packets" to be delivered, just a stream of bytes. [edit] See SCTP for reliable multiplexed out-of-order datagrams.
- Scramblejams 11y agoSCTP isn't friendly with cheap consumer routers, which makes it a non-starter for me, unfortunately.

- chetanahuja 11y agoWhat would be your use-case for reliable out-of-order packet delivery? Streaming/VOIP are convincing use-cases for "slightly unreliable" in-order delivery (that is, sacrifice reliability but not order). I'd love to hear your case for the revers (sacrifice order but not reliability).
