Looking at asynchronous programming
Considering that asynchronous is in RAET's name itself, it should come as no surprise that RAET is a type of asynchronous protocol. TCP is not an asynchronous protocol by nature, but it can be used for asynchronous tasks. UDP isn't exactly asynchronous either; it uses more of a "fire and forget" methodology.
So what is asynchronous programming? First of all, let's examine what synchronous programming is. Classical programming is synchronous by its very nature. A program issues a command and then waits for it to complete before issuing the next command.
