Talk about a blast from the past, though. - Dan C. -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T6ae3228112b5c3b4-Md522f5fdecdde562fa81cfd4 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription

References: Subject: RUDP and/or others I know this is from a thread almost 8 years old on 9fans. I'm ignorant of why RUDP wasn't used in lieu of TCP for 9P connections. Anyone know the whys and wherefores (either technical, historical, or political)? I had read earlier that TCP was used in lieu of IL (another transport protocol developed for Plan 9) due to performance over long-distance connections. Did RUDP just not cut it in some other way for the needs of sending/receiving 9P messages? >From the description in ip(3), it seems to have the nice behavior of resuming communication when a machine reboots.
