Happy birthday UDP!

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/08/20

Today it’s the 40th birthday of UDP. Or more precise: 40 years after [WayBack] RFC 768 – User Datagram Protocol got submitted.

It is still used a lot today, so be sure to read more background on [WayBack] User Datagram Protocol – Wikipedia.

And of course on a birthday, it is nice to have few good jokes. So here we go:

[WayBack] “I would tell you a joke about UDP, but you probably wouldn’t get it.” | Hacker News

[WayBack] I would tell you a joke about UDP, but you probably wouldn’t get it. So here’s a TCP joke | reddit.

[Archive.is]:

  • UDP packet bar walks into
  • The best thing about UDP jokes is that I don’t care if you get it. #sysadmin #networking #IT

You can generate more yourself: udpjoke.py
