Dave, I must disagree with you on this.

Reliable UDP (Both as a specification, and as a concept) has for
quite some time been used in various specialty applications.

I've gotten the opportunity to work with UDP reliability extensively in
developing a Server-Site Workflow management system. Our version uses
ACKs, but there are many different options available in this area.

Allow me to quote an excerpt from the following article:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1200901/why-is-udp-a-software-reliable-ordering-system-faster-than-tcp[^]

"TCP is a stream-oriented protocol, whereas UDP is a message-oriented protocol. 
Hence TCP does more than just reliability and ordering. 
See this post (http://www.sharpprogrammer.com/networking/comparison-tcp-and-udp-protocol/) 
for more details. Basically, the RakNet developers added the reliability and ordering 
while still keeping it as a message-oriented protocol, and so the result was more 
lightweight than TCP (which has to do more)."


If your project is lightweight and doesn't need the bandwidth and CPU associated with multiple TCP connections, then I would suggest using Reliable UDP.

However, if your purpose is simply to pass large (1kb+) amounts of data over a steady connection, then TCP is the right way to go.
