       | was happy to see it covered.

       | And talks to really good really neat wins! Simulated in-process
       | network, tapping Quinn's AsyncUdpSocket and UdpPoller. Cool,
       | nice. Better debugging with pcap, nice. Determinism, nice.
       | 
       | I do want a bit more of an ending though! Glad to see the work
       | open sourced. +1 the thanks to Marc Blanchet for all his help &
       | pushing that push. Also very fun reading their draft (linked in
       | post), _An Architecture for IP in Deep Space_ ,
       | https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-many-tiptop-ip-archit...

       | > _How can QUIC be viable, then? The attentive reader might
       | already have spotted the answer: the problem isn't QUIC, but its
       | default configuration, which was designed with terrestrial
       | internet in mind. What we need is a custom configuration, this
       | time targeting deep space, with guidelines to tweak things
       | further if a space mission deems it necessaryy._
       | 
       | I'd expect that there's a ton of work for "bandwidth shaping"
       | interplanetary QUIC that's probably missing, even if it just
       | needs to be basically nulled out on the way across the x-mitters.
       | Guess it's open source & I can dive in & see what was done here!

         | write more once our research has made more progress :)
