Hello; There was a 1.5 Gigabit per second uncompressed HDTV stream that was sent U Washington to DC. http://www.washington.edu/hdtv/next-gen.html True, that was sent RTP over UDP, but if I was going to send that data rate over a _dedicated_ link, I would use UDP. The very high bit rate applications I have been involved with could all tolerate some loss, and for the others, a little FEC could go a long way.

What kind of production environment needs a single TCP stream of data at 1 gigabit/s over a 150ms latency link?
Just the fact that you need a ~20 megabyte TCP window size to achieve this (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here) seems kind of unusal to me.
