-Discuss how the early GGS protocol were going to use both UDP and binary
- plists to be as fast as possible.
- Then discuss how complex these solutions were going to be to implement
- in the prototype.
- Mention that the modular structure of the GGS allows these features to
- be implemented later on, but are not currently implemented.
+Initially the GGS protocol was designed to use the UDP protocol for transport.
+ 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 to use UDP.
+ The GGS does however need error checking to be as reliable as possible,
+ therefore an error checking layer would have to be placed on top of UDP.
 \end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
+The development of an error checking layer was weighed against the implementatio
+n of TCP instead of UDP, thus losing some speed.
+ Even though speed was lost, TCP was chosen due to the relative ease of
+ implementation compared to UDP.
+ Due to the modularity of the GGS, a UDP extension is possible by replacing
+ the network parts of the GGS.

+ BSON protocol

+ was initially considered.
+ BSON is a protocol which can be used for vert fast traversal of data.
+ The BSON protocol is however rather difficult to read in its plain format,
+ and no implementation has been bade for the GGS.

+The Apache Thrift

+ was also an alternative.
+ Using Thrift would mean the GGS would feature a standard protocol for network
+ communication.
+ Before finding out about Thrift, an implementation of the GGS protocol
+ had already been made, moving to Thrift would mean too much work.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The use of Thrift, BSON, or other protocols can be supported quite easily
+ by develpping protocol modules for each protocol.
+ No protocol modules for these protocols have however been developed during
