Well, UDP is just aprioriate for realtime applications.
Professional simulation codes I know combining real hardware together with
simulations together in a single loop, use udp or udp like protocols.
Where with 'udp like', I think of protocols just pushing the data onto the
wire and not waiting for an ack of the other side.
Whatever you may experience with tcp in *your* special case, the only way to
*guarantee* that you will not block or hang the simulation because of lost
ethernet frames which will past a timeout be retransmitted and block the
stream for that whole time, is *not* using tcp.
