What is TCP?
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
is connection-oriented, meaning
once a connection has been
established, data can be
transmitted in two directions. TCP
has built-in systems to check for
errors and to guarantee data will be
delivered in the order it was sent,
making it the perfect protocol for
transferring information like still
images, data files, and web pages.
What is UDP?
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a
simpler, connectionless Internet
protocol wherein error-checking
and recovery services are not
required. With UDP, there is no
overhead for opening a connection,
maintaining a connection, or
terminating a connection; data is
continuously sent to the recipient,
whether or not they receive it.
