UDP, so your net admin can shut it off before it even gets started?
It took over a year to get .6 on most clients, leave it alone, please. Do you want to program low level stuff or more features on the client side?
Take existing code from gnuc and go from there, quit re-inventing the wheel and please use that brain of yours to make the user experience better (that's a compliment!)
.6 works, you can send more info like you want to now in the headers and all this was talked about a year ago. Besides, keep it simple and don't send lots of useless junk in the headers.
