Very much so.
Make your buffer large enough to withhold any stall.

If you stall, it's all up to the protocol.

TCP/IP will kill every chance of recovery unless you really have a major
bandwidth differential.

UDP/IP helps on the overhead, but can also cause just as many issues
(especially if your block size is much bigger than your frame size).

You typically want to use either an ICMP-like, or a higher-level UDP/IP
that doesn't have any error checking or response (e.g., even NFS has
XDR, which does exactly that).

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you.  Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them).  Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work.  ;->
