I'm so curious about what the 30% of you who are designing custom UDP-based protocols are doing, I would love to hear more!

(please only reply if you responded “yes, UDP” to the above poll)

@b0rk Years ago, having a lot of fun.

Also, fun exercise if you want to understand TCP, is to fun to implement it on top of UDP. :)
