Just a question... How reliable or unreliable is UDP. I understand that
it does not guarantee delivery or sequencing of messages. However,
I would like to know how, in practice, it can lose messages, and how
frequently it really will do this. Question applies to both Ethernet
LAN's, and such LAN's connected via Bridge over lower speed lines.

Thanks in advance.
