I just want to send kudos to them. I lost 2 years trying to write a reliable stream over UDP back in the days of Zoidcom and similar, maybe 2005. I don't know how to stress this enough but...it's basically an impossible challenge.

This writeup represents the depths that an engineer has to go to get real work done. I'm familiar with the integer wraparound comparison issue, and all of the other errata around TCP windowing. Thankfully countless people have done this work and we're able to enjoy the fruits of their labor today.

Not sure where I'm going with this, but I've been programming for 30 years, and to this day, I view kernel developers and the people who isolate these bugs as the very best among us.
