UDP vs TCP

I have some Flexy devices that are showing in the logs that they are connecting and disconnecting every few minutes. I remember talking to someone about this a while back (I think it was Jordan) and he mentioned that TCP might be better to maintain connections than UDP, but one machine I’m trying to work on remotely today is already set up for TCP. Is there anything else I can do in the config to make the connection more stable?

Hi Max,

So the main difference between UDP and TCP is that UDP doesn’t have any packet correction in the way that it sends data. It’s more of a shotgun approach and the receiving end will just take whatever information it is given and assume that it’s correct. The advantage of this is that it is faster than TCP because it doesn’t need to include the packet correction info.

Can you send us a backup.tar from ebuddy with the support files included?
