> Now I got it UDP packets are not fragmented at the application level, but you may get duplicates, or miss some packet, recieve the packets in incorrect order. Those conditions are very difficult to reproduce on a small LAN. You have to have a large LAN with different speed in different subnet and have several routes between points A and B. You are likely to get the problems on the internet when communicating between systems with long routes between them (Use tracert to know).
It is much easier to deal with TCP fargmentation than to deal with the unreliable (by design !) UDP protocol. The only interesting features are broadcast and multicast capabilities UDP has an TCP lacks. Contribute to the SSL Effort.
