UDP is unreliable even over Ethernet or other ``perfect''* networks (at least in 4.2BSD) because since it doesn't have windowing (flow control) so packets can and do get dropped after being successfully received, checksummed, etc. (Take a look at sbappendaddr.) ----- *Anyone who's used marginal hardware knows there's no such thing as a perfect network. . . . -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 4251) UUCP: seismo!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris@maryland
