Hi all.

So there I was, shopping around for reliable datagram protocols when
BAM! I run straight into RUDP. "Designed at Bell Labs for the Plan 9
operating system". I just skimmed through the (expired) IETF draft from
1999 and I honestly think the design might be too much. It looks like
it's almost completely like TCP, but without segmenting and possibly
with double checksumming. Seems like overkill.

Anyone know of a leaner reliable datagram protocol? I know I saw one a
year ago, but I just can't remember what it was!

Subject: RUDP and/or others

I know this is from a thread almost 8 years old on 9fans.

I'm ignorant of why RUDP wasn't used in lieu of TCP for 9P
connections.  Anyone know the whys and wherefores (either technical,
historical, or political)?  I had read earlier that TCP was used in
lieu of IL (another transport protocol developed for Plan 9) due to
performance over long-distance connections.  Did RUDP just not cut it
in some other way for the needs of sending/receiving 9P messages?
From the description in ip(3), it seems to have the nice behavior of
resuming communication when a machine reboots.  Is it due to the
middle boxes/firewalls that are present in present-day networks?
