You posted your opinion without any kind of accompanying argument, and it was also quite unclear what you meant. Whining about being a target and being downvoted is not really going to help your case.

I initially understood your first post as: "Let's not try to make the internet faster"

With this reply, you are clarifying your initial post that was very unclear. Now I understand it as:

"Let's not try to make existing protocols faster, let's make new protocols instead"

More that if a protocol has met it's limit and you are at a dead end it is better to build a new one from the ground up. Making the internet faster is great but you eventually hit a wall. You need to be creative and come up with better solutions.

In fact our modern network infrastructure returns on designs intended for limited network performance. Our networks are fiber and 5g which are roughly 170,000 times faster and wider since the initial inception of the internet.

Time for a QUICv2

But I don't think it addresses the disparity between it and lightweight protocols as networks get faster.
