I have done nothing of that sort. To repeat: When you do not
understand what I am up to by examining the difference between the

could possibly provide (at this time at least). Maybe a hint:

        The internet protocol does not provide a reliable communication
        facility.  There are no acknowledgments either end-to-end or
        hop-by-hop.  There is no error control for data, only a header
        checksum.  There are no retransmissions.  There is no flow
        control.
        (RFC791)

This text (minus error control for data) applies to UDP as well and it
is a list of things the protocol implementation itself does not do.

I am now convinced that nothing you have said in this thread was
responsive to anything I have said in this thread.
