Routing LLM traffic across providers with TCP-style congestion control

Original: Routing LLM traffic across inference providers with TCP-style congestion control

Engineers are discussing a proposal to route large language model inference traffic across multiple providers using congestion control methods borrowed from TCP. The approach dynamically shifts requests toward faster or more reliable providers, similar to how internet protocols manage network congestion. Commenters see it as a practical answer to inconsistent latency and availability across AI inference services.

Why now: Interest in reliability and performance of AI inference providers is growing as applications depend on multiple backend services.
