Thanks. That's the key! Then, the answer
might really be that a good system would
do the transport over UDP it if could, or
it would fall back to a connection in the
worst case.
You know, when placed in that context, the
discussion of whether the transport is done
over SSL, IPSec, or carrier pigeons is a
storm in a teacup. If someone is concerned,
buy the upgrade that gets you the better
transport.
