Our ad is "Database startup looking for C++ programmers". Also, here in Hungary CS majors take at least one semester of database, where they learn ACID.
Also, we're not looking for exhaustive answers, eg. in the TCP/UDP case all we want to hear is guaranteed delivery, packet reordering, stream oriented, packet oriented, UDP is good for audio, that's about it.
You should know we're a startup writing a distributed database (hence the n(n-1)/2 question), so virtually all code involves fairly low-level networking, and ACID is an everyday issue. This all of course is obvious from our website, which the interviewee presumably checks. The code is open-source, so they could actually look at the code to see what kind of questions to expect.
