Tesla seeks to work to standardize a new high-speed/low-latency fabric (be that TTPoE or otherwise) for AI/ML/Datacenters however theres nothing inherently abject about TCP as it exists today. RDMA over Converged Ethernet suffices perfectly well for whatever an "AI/ML/Datacenter" is and if we're being fair, the lackadaisical approach to the documentation suggests that they may not be taking it as seriously as they could anyway.<p>If Tesla were really seeking to shake things up they wouldnt have picked IPv4 to do it when the newest release has been around for nearly 30 years and has latency reduction baked in.<p>this smacks of a pandersome attempt from a company that sees the quite mandarin writing on the walls and has decided (in true Muskovite fashion) they too are just a misunderstood font of futurism.
There was a talk about this prior. This was used in place of TCP, but where TCP is designed to run over unreliable networks, this protocol achieves speed and latency figures comparable to others, while still being able to retain commodity IP switches in the cluster. By having a fixed buffer, no lingers, faster opens, they increase the speed and latency, without going to dedicated vendors or other stacks.
How is this better than UDP? Or for that matter, just plain old Ethernet MAC addressing? You can achieve lower latency and speed (than this) if you don't care about reliability in your transport layer.<p>This reaks of NIH.
