  • What are the situations in which Lightweight UDP Protocol would be acceptable

    TCP is a robust protocol: Sequencing and error correction are ensured, but there is a penalty in overhead (for example, if no re-sequencing or error correction is needed). UDP does not provide these services but is correspondingly simpler. Cite specific situations in which the lightweight UDP protocol could be acceptable, that is, when error correction or sequencing is not needed
