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
