What is the difference between TCP and UDP?
UDP is a fast connectionless transport protocol that sends data without reliability guarantees. In simple terms, UDP is meant for live streaming or gaming where speed is a priority and it doesn't matter if a couple frames are dropped.
TCP is a reliable connection-oriented transport protocol that ensures accurate and ordered data delivery. In simple terms, TCP is meant for e-mailing and other tasks where you want all of the information to send and be correct, where it does matter if things are dropped. You wouldn't want half your e-mail missing right?
