Robust as the old protocols? The early TCP protocols are very much underspecified. Maybe you have something else in mind.

Fair. I view them as what they grew into. Not as what they were initially designed as. Probably not a straight forward comparison.

I've just gotten weary of so many replacement protocols that get dreamed up and go nowhere. Often because they didn't actually learn all of the lessons from predecessors.
