RE: Difference between TCP and UDP?
TCP -Transmission Control Protocol -It is a Protocol used in connection oriented networks

UDP - User Datagram Protocol - It is a protocol used in connectionless networks Here the data is transfered as packets.

RE: Difference between TCP and UDP?
TCP-Transmission Control Protocol.
Protocol responsible for control over Transmission of data over the network.
It breaks the data into packets.
It supports error correction.

UDP-User Datagram Protocol
It also breaks the data into packets like the TCP.
But it does not support error correction.

RE: Difference between TCP and UDP?
TCP-Transmission Control Protocol.TCP is a connection-oriented protocol.
A connection can be made from client to server and from then on any data can be sent along that connection.
It supports error correction in the transmitted data.
So it is a reliable protocol.

UDP-User Datagram Protocol
A simpler message-based connectionless protocol. Using UDP we can send packets of data across the network. But it does not support error correction in the transmitted data.
So it is not a reliable protocol like TCP.

RE: Difference between TCP and UDP?
TCP-Transmission Control Protocol.It is synchronous in nature.It supports error correction.
UDP-User Datagram Protocol.It is asynchronous in nature.It do not support error correction.

RE: Difference between TCP and UDP
The main difference between TCP and UDP is TCP is connection orinted protocol means it will get an acknoldgement for the packet it has forwarded

RE: Difference between TCP and UDP
UDP is also faster than TCP- partially because it does not require an acknowledgement of reciept. However the difference is in the milliseconds and not normally a factor.

RE: Difference between TCP and UDP
In addition UDP is the protocol that you would usually use with voice application. If voice doesn't go through on the first try there is no reason to resubmit since a voice byte will lose it's value if it late therefore you have no reason to need an acknowledgement of reciept.

RE: Difference between TCP and UDP

TCP is a protocol based on a connection between two computers. It is used for normal Internet traffic and applications such as web servers Ftp etc.

UDP is a Protocol based on connectionless communication. UDP is ideal for applications like video streaming and online gaming where lost packets don't need to bre retransmitted and speed takes precedence.
