    Can congestion control ideas from UEC 1.0 be applied in edge firewalls or SD-WAN?

      UEC just released its 1.0 spec to optimize Ethernet for AI and HPC. It introduces some interesting concepts, like receiver-driven congestion control and a new transport protocol outside of TCP/IP.

      Most of this targets data center fabrics—but could parts of it make sense in edge networks or SD-WAN?

      • Could receiver-driven flow control help in multi-WAN or QoS scenarios?

      • Is there room for platforms like pfSense to experiment with these ideas?

      • Or is it overkill for edge use cases?
