- mahmud 16y agoUDP over SOAP. Reliability of SOAP + speed of UDP ~
- pohl 16y agoFeels like JXTA with JSON in the place of XML.

- dalore 16y agoI get a square with a question mark :(
- tlack 16y agoIt's a great idea but I feel like this protocol is a bit more heavy than it needs to be.
- grayrest 16y agoCare to expound on that?
- tlack 16y agoThe idea of using JSON in a very informal, global messaging system is a really strong one. Messaging is huge these days but pub/sub systems still aren't as commoditized as they should be. However, Telehash's reliance on UDP means we'll still be worrying about whether or not our message made it. Its' confusing lexicon (telex? dial? listen?) is unnecessary for simple cases. Telehash should be simpler and closer to HTTP. tldr: we spend too much time writing pub/sub systems that talk JSON, but this is too much to learn.
- catch23 16y agomaybe they used udp for speed and for udp hole punching over firewalls.
- adulau 16y agoIf you want to use the protocol within a browser, there is no standard (included by default in the browser) UDP socket interface accessible from js. Nice to use JSON but I'm still wondering how they could use UDP from the Browser? using "faked" DNS queries to generate UDP traffic?
- tlack 16y agoThere's a reason most of the world uses TCP.. even for things that sound ideal for UDP.
