Could you build this?
No Replacing standard TCP for 2-10x faster data transfer requires low-level network protocol engineering, custom UDP/QUIC congestion control algorithms, and kernel-level optimizations.
What it would actually take: This requires implementing proprietary UDP-based transport protocols (similar to Aspera FASP or modern custom QUIC implementations) with novel congestion control, packet pacing, and forward error correction (FEC) in C/Rust. It demands deep low-level networking, Linux kernel socket programming, and extensive real-world wide-area network (WAN) testing under high packet loss and jitter.
