There was a talk about this prior. This was used in place of TCP, but where TCP is designed to run over unreliable networks, this protocol achieves speed and latency figures comparable to others, while still being able to retain commodity IP switches in the cluster. By having a fixed buffer, no lingers, faster opens, they increase the speed and latency, without going to dedicated vendors or other stacks.

I suppose you mean "increase the speed and decrease the latency"?

Yes. Typo.
