Re: i agree 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.
