Maybe I am working too much with serial ports these days but ... protocols WITHOUT any clear markers to resync the byte stream against seem ... idiotic to me. Like why define a "protocol" that has a "fixed header" that consists of a length and a command, followed by a payload of said length? If you're using a transport that preserves message boundaries, there's no need for the length in the first place. And if you're using a transport that doesn't preserve message boundaries, well, now you cannot EVER get back in sync if anything goes wrong. Sooooooo ... maybe I am stuck in the 1980s or something but ... put a frickin' magic number and a checksum gosh-darn-it. If you don't, it's not a "protocol" in my eyes. #rant #protocol #MagicNumber
