I'm sure it depends on network delays. TCP has the sliding window
mechanism, so several packets can be in flight before you get a single
ack. TFTP requires one ack for each data packet, doesn't it?
If you have high delays, TCP is usually a win, even with relatively
low bandwidth. Otherwise, we need a an UDP protocol that doesn't
require individual ack.
