Quoting wiki: """Like named pipes, Unix domain sockets support transmission of a reliable stream of bytes (SOCK_STREAM, compare to TCP). In addition, they support ordered and reliable transmission of datagrams (SOCK_SEQPACKET), or unordered and unreliable transmission of datagrams (SOCK_DGRAM, compare to UDP).""" I'm also sure I saw that UDP can never be used as a reliable protocol in Stevens books. (I'm sure you can google this too.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27271> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
