Well, more accurately, the web is moving towards UDP with HTTP/3 & QUIC. Maybe 40% of web traffic now uses UDP in this way. Beyond that though, nearly everything else is TCP.

Nice write-up! I haven't seen those details since uni, so this is a very welcome reminder.

I always find the internet as a concept more of a goddamn miracle than the protocols that drive it. The idea that everyone agreed to build an ever expanding, recursive network of devices and connectivity where (for the most part) everyone can talk to everything because we collectively set it up to operate that way? I mean goddamn!
Most cyberpunk/dystopian future settings see this internet fragmenting back into physically separate networks and it seems like the bad players on the internet are fast-tracking that future as a speedrun. But the fact that we are where we are is nothing short of a miracle.
