My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

You’ve probably heard things like: “HTTP/3 is much faster than HTTP/2 when there is packet loss”, or “HTTP/3 connections have less latency and take less time to set up”, and probably “HTTP/3 can send data more quickly and can send more resources in parallel”. However, it is extremely challenging to actually deploy them at Internet scale.

This is because HTTP/3 and QUIC mainly help deal with the somewhat uncommon yet potentially high-impact problems that can arise on today’s Internet. Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Congestion Control.

For example, the most fundamental abstraction trade-off has always been latency versus throughput. These trade-offs have even impacted the way the lowest level building blocks in our computer architectures have been designed. The throughput of this pipeline is more important than the latency of the individual operations.
