* me looks confused * Didnt I just say that hl DOES use UDP to transmit packets and that they can't be re-requested for being out of date - you seem to have said exactly the same thing that I have and I dont see why you are re-iterating ?
As for lost packets, I'm not quite sure what you are getting at either, lost is lost and with UDP there is no follow up - thats why its UDP and not TCP ?
Maybe I'm missing the point ... let me know if I am.

Due to their stateless nature the UDP packets are never considered lost i.e nobody is going to go looking for them to retransmit. However they do have a Time To Live value. once this is expired the packet is considered out of date but wont be re-requested
Packets with expired TTL can't be re-requested for being "out of date" since they don't reach the server. As for lost packets, are you sure that the HLDS doesn't use a transmit protocol over UDP?
