Interesting ... from my understanding UDP is a connectionless
protocol, and as such packets aren't guaranteed to arrive at the
destination. It seems to me that for a file system, you really want
all the packets to arrive. How is this not a problem? (BTW, I'm just
beginning in networking programming and have no NFS experience yet,
but don't be afraid to give gory programming details :-))
