Nah, TCP is still just kicking the box over, but just kicking it over again, if the reciever doesn't kick back a box saying they got it.

There's nothing wrong with UDP. At least not that I know of.

Was that a joke? I didn't get it.

You got me halfway to writing an explanation before I noticed the meta-joke...

Well done

UDP seems more like a ball fired from canon to me. You may not be prepared for it and you won't know what state it's in when it gets here, but that packet is making it to the gate no matter what. Or, in the rare case it doesn't, it means someone else is having a real bad time.

You forgot to mention that you might get it twice, or thrice, or more, and in different versions.
