Subject: Re: drb with udp

Warning: udp is not reliable. You may be aware of this, but for 
something like drb, it can be a disaster if a reliable negotiation 
protocol is not built into the way drb uses udp. Even on local 
networks, udp packets can go bye-bye.

On the plus side, udp is really fast, fixed length- a real datagram 
instead of a stream.

Missed your ssh tunnel hell. Done a lot of that, but with relative 
success.
