    User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a datagram protocol used for simple request-response transactions. It does not provide reliability, flow control, congestion control, or sequencing. UDP is commonly used for real-time applications like voice and video calling that cannot accept the delay of establishing connections. While messages may be lost or corrupted over UDP, it has advantages of low overhead and minimal resource usage compared to TCP.

    UDP I
    User Datagram Protocol (RFC 768).

    UDP

    Datagram transfer between processes.


    It is considered an extension of IP.
    UDP = IP + Mux / Demux.
    best effort type:
    Unreliable: UDP messages may get lost or corrupted.
    No connection-oriented: no establishment or release of
    the connection.

    UDP II
    Doesnt offer:
    Flow Control: The messages can overflow in the
    receiver.
    Congestion Control: Messages can collapse the
    network.
    Sequencing: No datagram numbering.
    Error Control: no recognition, neither positive nor
    negative (but discards).
    UDP service is message-oriented:
    Delivers the message or not.
    If the UDP message is larger than the MTU,
    fragmentation is performed at IP level.
    Used by many services based on request / response.
    Largest UDP message size: 216 1 20 8 = 65,507

    UDP III

    UDP

    Advantages:
    No delay due to connection establishment.
    Simple transmitters and receivers.
    It uses minimal system resources in terms of memory
    and CPU.
    Adds a small header (8 bytes).
    It does not use any congestion control mechanism.
    Data flows can follow time patterns more flexible and
    adaptable.

    UDP Aplications

    UDP

    The reliability problems are left to the application layer:

    loss, disorder, duplication, delays, etc.


    Applications that want to avoid these problems use

    TCP.
    Some applications do not require reliability in the way

    that TCP offers it.


    Typical applications:
    Real-time voice/video
    Request/response DNS.
    Multicast Applications (not available in TCP).

    UDP Ports

    UDP

    UDP ports are an independent set to TCP ports.


    The port ID is 16 bits length.
    The destination port identifies the receiving application.
    The source port is optional.
    If unused, it is set to zero.
    If a reply is required, it is usually dynamically assigned
    (ephemeral ports).
    Typically above 1024.

    UDP Datagram

    UDP

    UDP Length:
    Includes header and data (in bytes).
    Minimum value is 8, which is the minimum header
    length.

    UDP

    Checksum
    UDP checksum:
    Optional. If unused, it is set to 0.
    Checks the integrity of the header, data, and routing.
    Is a Pseudo-header parameter: the receiver can make
    sure that no routing errors occurred.
    If wrong segment: discarded silently.
