kudos:1 | i agree TCP needs to be replace, it was never made for high speed network and doesnt tolerate random packet loss very well, we need synchronous networks to our homes/computer (less latencey since minimal to no buffers now), DNS is the vast majority of slow downs, the other is web servers lag in generating the page. There is too much back and forth talk protocol wise on the internet adding lag. Also servers need to be set to upload per connection at the server's line speed/no per connection speed limits, so no need to use download accelerators. Maybe a cell switched network may be needed instead of packet switched. |

Mountains | TCP supports random packet loss extremely well... It reduces the sending rate
That's actually the base to any WAN QoS implementation. Read a bit about WRED, it works by randomly dropping packets to prevent congestion before it happens. The TCP stacks on both ends then lower their sending rate to adapt.
For protocols talking back and forth, I suspect you are talking about application layers. All it takes is for the application writer to optimize it. There are very lean application protocols out there.
