It is also spectacularly efficient on the network: typically one UDP packet

When Len Kleinrock was in England, speaking at a conference at the University
of Sussex in 1973, he left his razor in the dormitory where he was staying,
and sent a message over the ArpaNet asking for it back.   This moment was
perhaps the real birth of the Internet.
