FTP has a command stream and then the data transfer stream.
The command stream is low bandwidth.. while the data transfer
is of course high bandwidth...

HTTP --- They did not have any way around the head-of-line blocking
         issues... iSCSI does have an option that provides both the
         way around this and keeps the same CC algorithm AND can provide
         an un-ordered delivery service...something the draft currently
         leaves ???'s by... I would hope in the future that HTTP would
         move off of TCP and reduce back to 1 connection that uses the
         same CC via SCTP or ECN (which SCTP also provides for by the
way) or
         even the new ECM work that Scott pointed out...
