You really didn't understand the point they were making. 300ms rtt is much less bad when quic merges handshake and key exchange, requiring less round trips even before 0rtt session resumption


Of course it is, that's the point. You need to reduce the number of round trips because physics doesn't allow you to reduce the round trip time no matter how sophisticated your transistors.


Reducing the number of rounds trips is exactly what quic does


There was no point at which I asserted otherwise.


You said

The problem does seem to be quite "tractable"/managable with quic then, which it seems like you agree on.
