My Lord is that funny.

This is hilarious, but if Larry Bird were making the shot, it'd be just as good as TCP.

UDP is called the "boot strap" protocol.

Pull yourself up.

I think you're mistaking BOOTP with UDP. UDP is a communications paradigm that deals with how data is sent and received, where BOOTP is a fleshed out structured protocol providing services (BOOTP is the predecessor of DHCP). BOOTP/DHCP rely on the underlying UDP transport to provide their services. Also I think you're confused because I've never heard anyone refer to UDP as the "boot strap protocol" before - BUT I have heard people refer to BOOTP as the "boot strap protocol".

This has to the the best phishing post I've ever seen. Just read the posts here.

That gets me to wondering why more streaming stuff isn't UDP with a little bit of ECC (sort of like CD audio vs. data CD). Maybe the ECC overhead is more than the TCP overhead.

More stuff will be soon. Some already is.

...the speed benefits of UDP over TCP are based on the fact that you're NOT doing error-correction. A error-corrected UDP is much slower than raw UDP. QUIC, huh? We already have that - it is called Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).

Reading over it, it's kind of like UDP+. Their info-graphics help explain it better than I could, so I won't.

Quality of service i'd imagine. Under heavy loads if your stream continues but your data loss exceeds 5-10% your going to complain.

You have bigger problems with those kind of losses. You probably would have trouble with TCP streams then, too.

Well I'm sorry faggot, I don't know correlations of % of packet loss verses stream quality. I just threw a percent out there. I trust that multi billion dollar multimedia companies know a bit more than you or I.

What I've never been able to figure out is why it isn't multicast

Wouldn't that only work for live streams? That won't work when you want your TV show to start streaming at 14:30 and the next guy wants to start watching at 14:37.

For sure. That's what I thought I was talking about. Even in the case of live streams, AFAIK, Multicast is rarely used.

I'm gonna tell you a UDP joke, I don't care if you get it or not.

I have no idea what any of you are talking about, and I am okay with that.

It is inconsiderate of you to compare niggers with UDP; at least UDP has a use!!
