Sure, but in some cases, there's only UDP possible and additional there are
requirements for a reliable connection. 

Another "pro" for UDP is the possibility for "UDP holepunching".

Not good, but for the moment the easiest way ;-)

Another question:

Is it possible to use the same protocol codec filter as I use now, and then
put an additional filter between the networkinterface and my codec, so that
this filter does the split to a propriate paket size, manage the
reliability and the order of pakets?!

If this would be possible, this would be "nearly" protocol codec
independant (except that a already "protocolled" message would be broken
into sub-pakets).

Alex
