I'm surprised he doesn't mention CurveCP. He's taken ideas from that author before (e.g. netstrings, which you'll find in the .torrent file format).

TCP does suck. If you try to use it for lots of short lived connections. And that pretty much sums up how it's being used nowadays, most the time.

For single, long term connections, TCP is fine.

uTP isn't based on CurveCP, and CurveCP is nowhere near as mature as uTP is.

That said, CurveCP is a quite interesting protocol! It just needs more support and testing.

[thespin]

Perhaps I wasn't clear. What I meant was that I would have expected you to have looked at CCP and evaluated it for your purposes, as you did with RED.

There's also UDT...

Is "from that author" some sort of passive aggressive jab at djb?

[thespin]

Nope. Quite the contrary. I was trying to avoid bringing the strange sentiment to which you are referring to the fore. Mere mention of those initials causes an adverse reaction in a lot of developers and admins. I voluntarily use his software every day. Not perfect (nothing is) but the best there is available. I find his code to be wonderfully lucid if I read it slowly and carefully. My opinion.

[dfc]

I also have a lot of respect for djb. That is why I thought it was strange you did not use his name when you were clearly well acquainted with who the author of netstrings and curvecp is.
