Might be this thread I started (seems ages ago!): https://devialetchat.com/showthread.php?tid=276. At least then, AIR was using UDP as a transport. There are sequence numbers in the AIR protocol presumably to allow for re-ordering, flow control and detection of missing packets.
Thanks Ian - I thought it was you but apologies for not crediting you!
