aooao··on Vint Cerf, “father of the Internet”, is retiring
I wonder if he would have designed TCP/IP differently if he'd had the chance to have a second go of it.

Maybe having multiple streams within a single connection, like QUIC does, would have been a better choice. Also being able to demarcate message boundaries within the protocol itself, perhaps, instead of it being a simple byte stream.
