## 📊 What These Numbers Mean

**96.50% Efficiency:**
- Out of every 1 MB of data you want to send
- Only 37 KB is protocol overhead (headers, encryption, ACKs)
- 1,024 KB reaches the application
- This is **excellent** for a secure, reliable protocol!

**Comparison:**
- Raw TCP: ~95-98% (but no encryption, no reliability features)
- TLS over TCP: ~92-96% (similar to QUIC)
- **ant-quic**: 96.50% with encryption, reliability, NAT traversal, and P2P features ✅
