Yeah...I agree it's a step towards TCP but the stateless nature is still handy
for our use. And UDP over local network is quite reliable (via loopback and
typically good over LAN too).I wasn't thinking of ack/nak for all
packets...just the request from the client that Laurie is talking about.
I did work on a project many years ago where they started with UDP and
eventually reinvented TCP with hundreds of lines of code that was unstable
which I replaced with something like a 10-line program for TCP that was rock
solid. It was a job for the White House Communication Agency. RRRMike W9MDB

Hi Mike, that doesn't really sit well with the fire and forget nature of UDP
messages. Once you start adding conversational protocols you might as well use
TCP/IP but that requires asynchronous processing or threads and a whole lot of
state for each "client". The current UDP message infrastructure in WSJT-X is
stateless at the connection level and synchronous, very simple and no waiting
for network replies. 73
