If TCP/IP had been designed using the same principles as syslog, then there would be no Internet and we would not be having this discussion, because: * half the data would never show up * the network address would be missing * the IP address would be written in english as "please send this packet to one-hundred-and-twenty" * Or completely differently if the developer felt like it, or made a typo. There are two kinds of simple - simple/elegant and simple/broken. Syslog is a model example of the latter.
