T/TCP

T/TCP (Transactional Transmission Control Protocol) was a variant of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). It was an experimental TCP extension for efficient transaction-oriented (request/response) service. It was developed to fill the gap between TCP and UDP, by Bob Braden in 1994. Its definition can be found in RFC 1644 (that obsoletes RFC 1379). It is faster than TCP and delivery reliability is comparable to that of TCP.

T/TCP suffers from several major security problems as described by Charles Hannum in September 1996.[1][2] It has not gained widespread popularity.

RFC 1379 and RFC 1644 that define T/TCP were moved to Historic Status in May 2011 by RFC 6247 for security reasons.

Alternatives

TCP Fast Open is a more recent alternative.

gollark: Actually, God has been dead ever since Contingency REPEALED PENUMBRAE, in 1996.
gollark: Probably not that many? I'd assume lots of people photograph geese and then post it to social media or just store it locally. The dataset presumably only contains ones which someone submits.
gollark: Web crawlers and a goose classifier.
gollark: (I have VPSes with little storage and fast network connectivity, and my server with lots of storage but a slow network, but nothing with a fast network and lots of storage)
gollark: I might actually be able to store and index them, then.
