This can be abstracted down. The purpose of different protocols is not t=
o  =

make things more complex, but to provide different level of reliability,=
  =

which make some like streams and some others not. Unlike Unicode encodin=
g  =

introduced in Ada 2012, the protocols list is not closed, however, TCP/I=
P  =

and UDP/IP are still the widely used. This could be compared to the topi=
c  =

old character code pages : there was many, but Ada still supported the  =

most widely used one beyond pure ANSI : ISO 8859-1. There may be no worr=
y  =

to support TCP/IP and UDP/IP above any others, the same way.

A question : what is the state of the use of IP based protocols in the  =

embedded-boards area ? I use to see references to TCP and UDP usages in =
 =

some embedded stuffs, but I am not mastering anything in that area=E2=80=
=A6 unlike  =

many others here.
