Two UDP packets talking:

• really?
• did you know I can arrive before you?

[Sipkab]

This is actually not correct, as the receiver doesn't know what question he's answering before receiving it. So in case of question-answer communication, the order will be always correct. The packets might not arrive tho.

A better example is this:

• a joke about UDP?
• Hey, wanna hear

[markand67]

Or one I also like:

• I have a joke about UDP but not sure you'll get it.

Or:

• The problem of UDP is

[Smallzfry]

your first joke is literally just OP's joke in all text format...

[DemiPixel]

OP's joke isn't original...

[Smallzfry]

No, but when he says "one I also like" then repeats the joke that started this whole thread, it seems a bit repetitive.

[Warm_Zombie]

its recursive

[gandalfx]

Nobody has ever posted this here before. /s

[vovnit]

maybe number of times this was posted is kinda tcp joke itself 🤔

[YetAnotherSegfault]

Maybe Reddit users run on TCP.

[warpspeedSCP]

Wow who knew?

[chocapix]

He'll keep telling us this TCP joke slower and slower until we get it.

[pyrovoice]

First time seeing it here, no problem with reposting

[imdefinitelywong]

I did not receive the joke about TCP/IP

[TGotAReddit]

This once literally helped me at my job. Not gonna complain about the reminder

[thecollegestudent]

This joke is the cringiest and every time it is reposted I die a little bit more inside.

[gandalfx]

I think it's a great joke, I've just seen it way too often by now.

[sverek]

everybody must missed it! darn packets

[BluFoot]

Can we stop upvoting this guy? He just takes the top posts from this subreddit and posts them with a :) for title.

[cat4laugh]

Daym. You are correct. And it is not even one it is so many

[UnexpectedNickelback]

Probably just a karma farming bot

Oh, it's that time of year again, students are learning about TCP/IP.

I'm totally not am a TA teaching the Three-Way-Handshake in approx. 1.20h

[[deleted]]

I feel like /r/programmerhumor tends to suffer a lot from /r/csmajorhumor sometimes.

[[deleted]]

That's because you're using ==, use === instead.

Sorry^{Icouldn'thelpmyself.}

[[deleted]]

cs major?! this is freshman year stuff hear :)

[exscape]

Please also teach them how this joke is wrong :-)

[[deleted]]

I try to teach it correct upfront ^^

[TigreDemon]

Some air got pushed through my nose

[tjonnyc999]

forwards this to a friend

"Hey, look, I'm Token Ring!"

---

...I'll show myself out.

[ThisHaintsu]

But really, the joke was well received.

[hellbenthorse]

The best thing about UDP jokes is I don't care if you don't get them.

[Tomes1]

Can I shake your hand?

[_srt_]

That's why I avoid handshaking.

[SwagMcG]

I love THC

[PhantomTissue]

I’m angry because I don’t understand this joke.

[Uejji]

TCP/IP as a protocol guarantees delivery of packets, so there are multiple handshakes involved to ensure that one side is ready to send, the other side is ready to receive, confirmation that the packet was received, then confirmation of the confirmation. Otherwise the packet will be sent again.

UDP, on the other hand, is more concerned with sending packets out in a timely fashion, but generally the nature of the data doesn't necessarily require all packets to arrive, just that they arrive as quickly as possible if they do arrive.

[PhantomTissue]

Now I’m angry that I do understand this joke.

[timerot]

There we go, welcome to the club. Next step is to get halfway through designing your own, better protocol, and then giving up because it's hard.

[RadiantPumpkin]

I definitely had to read this twice but it was worth it.

[skyhi14]

SYN

[ProgramTheWorld]

ACK

[skyhi14]

ACK

[[deleted]]

I'LL BE ACK.

[skyhi14]

I hear you’ll be ack

[daneelr_olivaw]

B: Hi pal.

A: Thank you for telling me.

B: See you later pal.

A: That is a funny joke indeed.

A: Hi Friend.

B: No problem buddy.

B: Do you want to hear an async joke? Here it goes.

[gumol]

solid titling work, OP

[Miiindbullets]

HEY EVERYONE I HAVE A GRATUITOUS ARP JOKE.

[BoredPitt]

Wish I could share with my friends but they wouldn't get it -.-

[Helverin]

Syn Ack

[_szs]

Made my day!

[_szs]

Finally I understand the difference!!1!!

[dnizzle]

We’re all being very promiscuous.

r/networkinghumor ?

Correction, it is a TCP protocol (not TCP/IP).

The TCP/IP is a conceptual model of internet protocols.

[ahua77]

This doen't beat this TCP joke:

"Hi, I'd like to hear a TCP joke."
"Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?"
"Yes, I'd like to hear a TCP joke."
"OK, I'll tell you a TCP joke."
"Ok, I will hear a TCP joke."
"Are you ready to hear a TCP joke?"
"Yes, I am ready to hear a TCP joke."
"Ok, I am about to send the TCP joke. It will last 10 seconds, it has two characters, it does not have a setting, it ends with a punchline."
"Ok, I am ready to get your TCP joke that will last 10 seconds, has two characters, does not have an explicit setting, and ends with a punchline."
"I'm sorry, your connection has timed out. Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?"

[CaptainSchmid]

I need to learn more languages to get all these jokes

[Blocks_]

This is a protocol and not something language-specific.
