That wasn't a rhetorical question. You have the possibility of dropping packets when using UDP, and unless you handle for that you'll never get them. Further, the packets you do receive might be out of order. TCP was designed as a reliable network protocol; you *will* get everything, in order, eventually. With UDP, you have no such assurances.
