Yup, those who fail to learn from TCP are doomed to re-invent it, badly, at the wrong level <GRIN>. Seriously, the console subsystem on the Sequent (now IBM) NUMA-Q systems originally used UDP. It wound up as a serious mess. We changed to TCP. I'll admit that the NUMA-Q console subsystem does more than what is being proposed here currently, but it's likely to grow. In general UDP is only appropriate if you *can* afford to drop data. Did RDP ever get anywhere ?
