RE: An alternative to TCP (part 1)

As long as it is safe (i.e., follows good congestion control),
why should we care how many of these protocols are defined?  After
we ensure the protocols are safe we can just let Darwinism take its
course.

Because a customer with sufficient $ would inevitably request the
Frobnitz Transport, since it garnered the IETF imprimateur and
the code base would eventually collapse under the weight of all this
"innovation".

Thought for the day:

"If farmers can be paid not to grow wheat, why can't IETF
WGs be paid not to develop protocols?"
