Do you use a VPN to connect your corporate laptop to your employer’s network from home? Do you use Wireguard, or its easier-to-use derivative, Tailescale, to connect any of your devices? Do you use any form of VOIP (Voice over IP)?

(Edited because I forgot the big one) Have you ever used a name and not an IP address to connect to something on the internet?

Congratulations! You’re a UDP user!

Yes! I absolutely use UDP!

I once built a prototype network stack on top of a udp library that simulated a physical network layer..

Doesn’t change the fact that tcp/ip was the network stack that enabled the internet.

But I was trying to sidestep that tangent by mentioning link layer protocols in my second paragraph.
