UDP seems more like a ball fired from canon to me. You may not be prepared for it and you won't know what state it's in when it gets here, but that packet is making it to the gate no matter what. Or, in the rare case it doesn't, it means someone else is having a real bad time.

You forgot to mention that you might get it twice, or thrice, or more, and in different versions.

You're right. I forgot that grapeshot is always something to worry about.

Sorry I didn't get this UDP joke...

Well I ain't just gonna repeat it...

Just keep tossing packages over a tall fence, say "I guess that'll do it", then shrug and walk away.

Because you're so prepared for a guy kicking a parcel over the fence. It's the same analogy my dude.

The kick over the fence means they took enough care to carry it as far as your fence. UDP lobs it from one town over.
