There is bulk data, and thus we need TCP-friendly congestion control.
So moving away from TCP requires reinventing it.

I am unclear on the details, but is it sane to propose socks support,
and that people run socks on their machines with public addresses?  My
such machine is running BSD so I can make it do what I want, and I don't
know what one can do on typical firewall/router/802.11 devices.

I gather this is blocked on twisted:
