I'd suggest starting simple, either with TCP or UDP with fingers
crossed (unlikely to lose packets in laboratory conditions), and then
think some more once you see how the protocol turns out. RUDP looks
pretty TCP'ishly complex and I can imagine a much simpler protocol if
e.g. it turns out that each side only needs to send one packet at a
time.

My colleagues could probably give you some good tips on how far you
can make TCP scale in Erlang, I suspect it's a pretty long way..

I do have a mostly untested/unfinished user-space TCP if you want, but
that would take you back to lisp and I don't remember where the latest
sources are :-) http://www.cliki.net/Slitch and Tobbe has written a
more complete one in Erlang (old and may need slight forwards-porting)
http://www.bluetail.com/tobbe/etcp/

Practical path would be to ignore those links though :-)
