But compliance with "current standards" or with named standards (e.g. UDP, TCP) changes over time.

Does this mean that new standards can and do change the meaning of the term TCP? I didn't realize that.

I try to be hip but I'm just an old curmudgeon. Words do change. Once in my pirate persona I said something about "booty" and my children were shocked.

I'm glad you're on this list and can keep me honest.

(though if I were doing inter-planetary comms, I wouldn't use TCP - I'd use parallel unidirectional streams, probably UDP, with FEC and transmit full-blast without congestion or flow control :-)

;-)

Well, if not flow control, maybe forward redundancy based on available Joules and modeling of reception. Perhaps a good model for both control and human interaction would be email.
