> And that data-stream the interface that TLS provides
That’s exactly the problem. You might lose a UDP packet. That would corrupt data encrypted with stream cipher.
With DTLS, each packet is encrypted individually.

I continue to find that knowledge useful in my day job working on distributed systems.
I would be shocked if this were true for hardware. Even for software, every major OS in the last 10 years as supported IPv6, and prefers it over IPv4
I’m sure there’s horror stories, but I doubt it’s systemic.
