TeleHash: Distributed JSON Peering Protocol

If you want to use the protocol within a browser, there is no standard (included by default in the browser) UDP socket interface accessible from js. Nice to use JSON but I'm still wondering how they could use UDP from the Browser? using "faked" DNS queries to generate UDP traffic?

There's a reason most of the world uses TCP.. even for things that sound ideal for UDP.

When you've got a hammer...

TCP isn't ideal for everything. Ad-hoc networking and broadcast streaming being just two.

There's a reason why UDP was invented.

There's a reason why UDP was invented.

And that reason was not sending time-insensitive text messages.
