Devdas, do remember at times it would be worth building the reliability for UDP since research shows that the reliability of TCP on WAN's can cause deadlocks-delays-inefficiency.
To reach a decision on which protocol to make use of completely depends on the implementation one is looking for. Just taking the basic tenets of TCP-UDP and building from there is a sure disaster....atleast for the implementation we are looking at.
Not sure if i am making my point but my requirements cant be addressed by any off the shelf tcp-udp implementations. Hopefully once SCTP standardises i may look at it.
Take care and have a great day dear.
