I've often wondered if a molecule or two get lost along the way? Imagine the
error checking routines! Wonder what happens over a slow link? what's the
packet size? What's the window? Who does the error checking, since the end
result is UDP? Or if it is TCP, what device on the other end does the
checking? What is the size of the frame check sequence? Questions questions
questions....

This sounds like one of those philosophy arguments about Star
Trek. When somebody is transported, is the person on the receiving
end, the same person that left the transmitting end?
