> corporations don't see any "immediate shareholder value", so they sit around happy as pigs in shit with the status quo.
This is ridiculous.
Hyperscalars see an immediate ROI from efficiency/reliability improvements and actively invest in TCP alternatives all of the time. It's just really hard.
Networking companies see an ability to differentiate their products from their peers and work on this kind of thing as well. I did a 3 second google for "QUIC acceleration Mellanox" and got a hit on Nvidia's blog right away.
You just can't trivially replace something with an investment totally 50 years of clock time and thousands of years of engineer time. It will either take a long time or a massive shift in needs/technology. FWIW, I wouldn't be surprised if the high-performance RDMA networks being put together for AI workloads were the thing that grew into the "next" thing.
