title: Why c++ is not used in L2/L3/L4 development projects
body: <p>I have been involved in numerous c++ projects mainly in the application domain pertaining to VOIP protocols. Now I have to move to L3 , L2 protocol development projects where I found 'C' is preferred language of choice for the L2/L3/L4 developers. </p>
  
  <p>Now I am wondering expect device firmware related applications, why protocols are developed using stone age era language. Why ppl dont take the benefits of OOPS techniques? Will it be prudent if I try to convince them to switch to c++. Most of the developers working in the team are C experts and not comfortable with C++.</p>
