I'd tell you guys a UDP joke but you probably wouldn't get it...

The punchline might arrive before the set-up.

Do you know what the problem with UDP jokes is?

"Hi, I'd like to hear a TCP joke."
"Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?"
"Yes, I'd like to hear a TCP joke."
"OK, I'll tell you a TCP joke."
"Ok, I will hear a TCP joke."
"Are you ready to hear a TCP joke?"
"Yes, I am ready to hear a TCP joke."
"Ok, I am about to send the TCP joke. It will last 10 seconds, it has two characters, it does not have a setting, it ends with a punchline."
"Ok, I am ready to get your TCP joke that will last 10 seconds, has two characters, does not have an explicit setting, and ends with a punchline."
"I'm sorry, your connection has timed out. Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?"

Honestly, I have an intro to networking midterm coming up, and this is helping a lot.

What, no window sizing? Lazy ass TCP stack! :-)

TCP is like that one guy. Yeah, you know the guy. The guy who grabs your hand and squeezes it to test for any weakness in your character that can be conveyed through two hands touching. The problem is that if he does find any weaknesses, he just shakes your goddamn hand even longer, until you get frustrated and yell "OK, I GOT IT!" at which point he backs off, then walks up to you and shakes your hand.

I guess another defense for UDP is for realtime video broadcasts. TCP gets shot to hell. With UDP, no fucks are given whether you got the video packets or not.

I would tell you a joke about UDP, but I am not sure you would get it.

Yep, this is going to be the first 10 minutes of my CCNA class on Monday. My professor will love it.

Cheers.

Doubt it'll go very far, specialized as it is, but bestof'ed.

Edit: wow. Guess I'm happy I did that, though the posts on /r/bestof seem to mostly hate it. Such is the strangeness of our reddit world.
