were resolved by the erlv8 developers during the development GGS.

Initially the GGS protocol was planed to use the UDP protocol as a transport
layer.
Due to the lack of error checking in the UDP protocol, the UDP protocol
is faster than the TCP protocol, this was a main reason in the desire to
use UDP.

Using Thrift would mean the GGS would feature a standard protocol for network

Before finding out about Thrift during a lecture of Joe Armstrong (one
of the inventors of Erlang), an implementation of the GGS protocol had
already been implemented, moving to Thrift would mean too much efford for

The operating systems used were Linux and Mac OS X, since these systems
