Re: TCP vs. UDP

indirectly some of the facts support idea of using UDP. 

In real network average performance of TCP can not be exceeded by
proprietary UDP transport, but it can be argued that in some cases
such proprietary protocol can be made efficient "enough" and for some
networks - specifically for fat connections with high latency and
uniformly distributed low packet loss, can beat TCP performance.
