If everything is just datagrams, what good are datagrams? Are we forever bound to use deep inspection just to keep acceptable service in our networks?
Having a separate layer for data connections was a good idea for many reasons which have been clear for over four decades.
- simiones 3y agoI'm not sure what you mean. What does UDP have to do with acceptable service? If you want to prioritize certain kinds of traffic, you either to do deep packet inspection, or you trust IP-level QOS info (which you probably shouldn't). There is no other way. No one sane prioritizes UDP in general, you prioritize things like VoIP, for which you anyway need to do DPI. And separating data connections from encryption has in fact proven to be a a bad idea over those 40 years.
