Subject: [sc-users] TCP default?

File this under "not urgent":

  - Networks are much faster than they were when the decision was made to have a UDP default

  - Many OSC messages are in fact "better late than never": e.g. dropping a /n_free can be a lot worse than eg a moment of audio dropping out. UDP can drop out or reorder even on localhost(!)

  - Most SC development is done on localhost, where TCP is plenty fast. We assume you have to do more tinkering when you use a machine not on localhost; maybe that tinkering would include considering the switch to UDP?

Any thoughts on switching at some point? (Or doing some exploratory benchmarking?)
