> So, to repeat the argument: if there's some information we need reliably, whatever cunning thing we layer on top of UDP, we're just reimplementing what TCP does. It seems unlikely we can do better than TCP unless we're doing something very problem specific.
We can do much better than TCP. We just have to weaken the reliability requirement. And like you say, in the real world, that can go quite a long way, without actually being much weaker than TCP.
