If your security depends on someone reacting in time,
you don’t have a guarantee. You have coordination.

Wrote about a real failure mode that keeps showing up.

For extreme low-latency needs where SSH's new feature is detrimental, other protocols like Mosh (for interactive sessions) or even Telnet (if security isn't paramount) are considered. Choosing the right tool for the job is key. #ProtocolDesign 5/6

Was IPv6 over-engineered? The debate continues. Some argue a simpler IPv4 extension might have seen faster adoption, while others defend its "clean slate" design as essential for future-proofing global networking. 🤔 #ProtocolDesign 6/6

The debate over HTTP-based (like JMAP's JSON) vs. binary protocols continues. HTTP offers ubiquity & ease of use, but some argue for binary's efficiency. It's a trade-off between widespread compatibility & raw performance. #ProtocolDesign 5/7

A core question in the discussion: Are SSH3's performance gains significant enough to warrant adopting a new, more complex protocol? The community weighed whether the real-world benefits outweigh the added architectural complexity. #ProtocolDesign 3/6

MCP's design highlights a tension: simplicity vs. robustness. Some argue its minimalism sacrifices safeguards of protocols like SOAP/gRPC. Others see this simplicity as vital for rapid adoption in modern web dev, prioritizing ease-of-use. #ProtocolDesign 4/6

The 'Robustness Principle' ('be liberal in what you accept') was debated. Many argued this approach, while traditional, can lead to protocol ossification and security vulnerabilities in BGP implementations. #ProtocolDesign 3/5
