Transmission Control Problem

Sometimes I think I'd prefer to see
a world in which TCP's IP,
and to those who think to ask me why:
For the Internet would surely die.

There's nothing I can call TCP
other than a clear catastrophe;
it's a phony in telephony.
The Internet's saved by UDP.

Designers ensured it's here to stay,
causing us to continue in this way,
although it made sense in its day,
TCP has exhausted its stay.

For the modern times of TCP:
It simply lacks suitability.

The explanation:
I wanted to write a better and longer poem, but inspiration struck not.  I may rewrite or update it.

Reading the early Internet documents has shown to me that each design flaw it has made perfect sense
in its original context, a network joining networks.  Regardless, I can't help but think an Internet
Protocol joined inseparably with TCP, its original design, would've been improved many times by now.
A network designed to act like postal systems can't well achieve something like a telephone network.

TCP is trivially attacked, compatibility issues with its urgent data mechanism have made it useless,
and TCP is only used because other protocols demand its use, few of which use its advanced features.
Furthermore, there's no end to silly extensions and knobs which tweak TCP's behaviour, and I've made
a decision to avoid as many of them as I can.  This POSIX_TCP_Garbage library is the barest minimum.

Unlike POSIX_UDP_Garbage, this library isn't intended to be useful on its own, as the asinine design
of its components force one to use the C language value known as ``errno'' to properly use them.  My
next TCP library will build from this, but the problem is split far less cleanly this time with TCP.
