@omar,
i feel like model applications of TCP were, like, remote login and file transfer -- is that written down somewhere?
what are the equivalent model applications for WebSocket?

@omar,
(i was thinking about how TCP is this continuous bytestream while WebSocket is message-oriented, and how that's a weird difference that maybe is driven by an underlying difference in the model applications the designers had in mind)

@omar I’m 90% sure this is covered in the book “Where Wizards Stay Up Late” which is an all around excellent book.

@omar what I recall from that book on the early days of TCP was that it was a simpler and more pragmatic version of OSI. I also think the little/big endian compatibility was one of the larger design goals
