What is a UDP protocol?

Protocol UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is used for the core protocols to data over the Internet, transfer with the other TCP (Transmission Control Protocol).

    Speed
  1. UDP, can on average much faster for the transmission of information as the TCP/IP Protocol, because it uses 8 bytes per packet, to transmit information to the 20 TCP total.

Connectionless
  • This slender header comes because UDP is unlike TCP, without a connection.
    • TCP guarantees in order get and data is checked for errors on arrival, while UDP provides this protection: packages lost or can be damaged.

    Used
  • TCP is used for browsing the Web, UDP is most often used for voice over IP and games, where the speed is absolutely necessary and small bugs that can be displayed in the UDP are not equally important.
