Hi,In transport layer two protocols are working TCP , transmission control protocol and UDP , user datagram protocol , TCP is also know as reliable protocol , means it is using handshake process , where client requtest to server then establish the connection and then transfer the packet then terminates it. In UDP , no relaibilty but packets are safe. when long RTO is there that time packtes use to UDP.

TCP:

1.Connection oriented - 3 way handshake

2.all packets transferred between a client and server takes the same path

3.Reliable packet delevery

4.Error reporting mechanism available

5.Slow process as it waits for ack before sending next packet

6.Ordered delivery of packets

UDP

1.Connectionless

2.Each packet between a client and server may take various paths

3.Unreliable delivery

4.Datagram loss cannot be identified

5.Faster

6.Out of order delivery
