Well, the packets start comin’ and they don’t stop comin’
Fed to the rules and I hit the cable runnin’and they don’t stop comin’ and they don’t stop comin’ and they don’t stop comin’ and they don’t stop comin’

UDP: Throws beer in your general direction with no prior notice.
Or don’t. I don’t care. Anyway here’s the bill
I gave my best effort.

UDP: meh
Here’s another one, catch!

Are they going to expand into Canada? That’s a much better deal than getting reemed by Telus or Rogers.
Yeah, no joke. That would be awesome, and they wouldn’t be scared off by the paper terrorism.
When Mexico sends us us people, they’re not sending their best. /s
Damn, they must be charging an arm and a leg then, or your firstborn perhaps.
Wi-Fi protection racket has to be a new one, right?
If you’re using TCP and losing packets you should be panicking though, because something is very wrong…
True, but TCP will just resend them, you won’t lose anything but some latency. Meaning it’s something to look into, but not something to panic about.
Do you ever find yourself confidently explaining things after misunderstanding yourself?
Edit: I’m fine with being downvoted for being a dick, but seriously, people missing the point and then going on to explain the very thing that someone else just finished saying is fucking obnoxious. OP was saying, “if, despite TCP’s delivery control, you are still missing packets, something is really wrong”.
I get what you’re both saying, but it’s technically wrong. TCP exposes segments and those are guaranteed to be transmitted. That may however require the retransmission of several IP packets.
So losing a packet is fine, while losing a segment is worth worrying about.Anyway I can’t speak for OP if they genuinely misunderstood because of terminology or just got wooshed. But they’re technically right, even if by accident.
You can lose packets. Just cut the cable, but the other side will notice that the transmission is incomplete.
Shouldn’t the engineer be a bit more worried if the cable’s been cut?
If UDP drops packets it’s probably nothing. If TCP drops packets it’s because something’s actually wrong.

Actually even a few dropped packets is too many in IT IMO lol
