title: Are there any disadvantgaes of using a part of the datagram in UDP to receive packets sequentially?
body: <p>The UDP protocol does not guarantee packets being received sequentially, but you could just use part of the datagram for a sequence number.</p>
  
  <p>Compared to the guarantee of TCP, is the above solution for UDP equivalent?</p>
  
  <p>Basically, I've been reading everywhere that UDP does not provide sequential receiving, but this seems like such an obvious fix that I was wondering if it is truly an adequate fix. </p>
