Spurred on by a widespread belief that TCP is showing its age and needs replacing

I don't mean to hijack this thread unnecessarily, but this seems like an interesting disconnect between ops people and research people (either that or I'm just showing my ignorance, which will be nothing new).


Is there a groundswell of *operators* who think TCP should be replaced, and believe it can be replaced?

Or is the motivation for replacing TCP mainly felt by those who spend a lot of time trying to get maximum performance out of single flows over high bandwidth-delay product paths?
