The plain-English version
A message-oriented transport unit that can arrive without a delivery or ordering guarantee from UDP itself.
Why it matters
It suits protocols that explicitly handle loss, duplication, and timing needs.
Let’s make it click
A local telemetry sample includes a sequence number so a receiver can detect gaps.
Vibe Bro’s heads-up
Using UDP does not automatically make an application faster or suitable for its correctness requirements; design the complete protocol behavior.

Supported: UDP itself provides neither delivery nor ordering guarantees; sequence-number telemetry is an illustrative application policy.
