RE: Question

The question is not crazy at all (the answer
might be :-)). New protocols are required (and
really should for everyone's benefit) implement
some congestion avoidance mechanism.

Currently the easiest way to achieve this is to
use TCP. Unfortunately we do not depend enough
on it, leading to significant complexity
in the protocol.
