You keep using the term “imaginary” when presented with evidence that does not match your view of things. There are many REAL scenarios where single flow high throughout TCP is a real requirements as well as high throughput extremely small packet size. In the case of the later, the market is e

Also, for data center traffic, especially real-time market data and other UDP multicast traffic, micro-bursting is one of the biggest issues especially as you scale out your backbone. We have two 100GB switches, and have to distribute the traffic over a LACL link with 4 different 100GB ports on
