Man, UDP sounds like such a dick. UDP does not sequence the segments and does not care in which order the segments arrive at the destination. Rather, UDP sends the segments off and forgets about them. It doesnt follow through, check up on them, or even allow for an acknowledgment of safe arrival—complete abandonment. Because of this, its referred to as an unreliable protocol. This does not mean that UDP is ineffective, only that it doesnt handle issues of reliability.
