Ouch, thanks for the pushback! But isn’t it called tcp/ip for a reason?

- MandieD 5y agoDo you use a VPN to connect your corporate laptop to your employer’s network from home? Do you use Wireguard, or its easier-to-use derivative, Tailescale, to connect any of your devices? Do you use any form of VOIP (Voice over IP)? (Edited because I forgot the big one) Have you ever used a name and not an IP address to connect to something on the internet? Congratulations! You’re a UDP user!
- cannabis_sam 5y agoYes! I absolutely use UDP! I once built a prototype network stack on top of a udp library that simulated a physical network layer.. Doesn’t change the fact that tcp/ip was the network stack that enabled the internet. But I was trying to sidestep that tangent by mentioning link layer protocols in my second paragraph.
