Received wisdom here for UDP is, multicasting, more efficient on the network, and it is not difficult to overcome the reliability due to packet loss by building over UDP. There are always alternatives. The trick here is that dispatch has to broadcast to multiple units once. Like others, the notion that web services built badly over HTTP may do damage to an already congested network is of concern. Again, I am countering Daniel's assertion that UDP is out and HTTP is in. UDP is still healthy. That said, we are always investigating alternatives but not because of momentum. That we don't need. Would the web still be the web without HTTP? len -----Original Message----- From: Paul Prescod [mailto:paul@p...] "Bullard, Claude L (Len)" wrote: > > Not so, Daniel.

Received wisdom is the opposite: "Use UDP in applications where reliability is not critical" "TCP ensures reliable transmission across networks, delivering data in sequence without errors, loss, or duplication."
