UDP cares about the target, it doesn't care if it gets there, more like broadcast.

This might be my favorite joke here yet. Best part is it's not really even a joke.

Surprisingly accurate

Maybe i have to disagree a little bit. UDP won't drop packets intentionally or TCP don't prevent dropping of packets.

So UDP is like an introvert who ordered pizza and got 4 of 6 peices but kept silent and eat what he got

And TCP is like the extrovert who complained and got the next two peices

Well this is going in my "basics of networking" presentation.

There is a bigger one, with more networking terms, but I can't find it right now :|

If you do find it let me know, I'd love to see it! I really do have about 20 hours of training in networking I give to folks, and since it's literally 20 hours of information, I like to put in fun stuff.

Like a picture of a facemask I added during COVID with "stay at 127.0.0.1, don't 255.255.255.255". Super cheesy but at least it's a mental distraction from information overload haha

could you share it to us laymen internet strangers?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Right now it's got some private info in there, but I've been meaning to make it sanitized to share, so I'll let you know

Phenomenal, thank you!

So TCP ACK is the backwash?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

No gross backwash with UDP, guaranteed!

I love slut protocols.

I know a joke about UDP.

I know a joke about TCP too.

Did you get it?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

I only tell jokes about UDP. I don't care if you get it.
