[$] QUIC as a solution to protocol ossification
The TCP protocol has become so ubiquitous that, to many people, the terms"TCP/IP" and "networking" are nearly synonymous. The fact that introducingnew protocols (or even modifying existing protocols) has become nearly impossible tends toreinforce that situation.
