what are udp and tcp?

There are two types of Internet Protocol (IP) traffic. They are TCP or Transmission Control Protocol and UDP or User Datagram Protocol. TCP is connection oriented – once a connection is established, data can be sent bidirectional. UDP is a simpler, connectionless Internet protocol.

There are some fundamental differences between TCP and UDP sockets. UDP is a connection-less, unreliable, datagram protocol (TCP is instead connection-oriented, reliable and stream based). ... recvfrom returns the IP address of the client, along with the datagram, so the server can send a response to the client.

Use tcpdump to capture any UDP packets on port 8125. ... udp means that only UDP packets will be captured. Other types of packets we might capture could be tcp or icmp for example.

TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, whereas UDP is a connectionless protocol. The speed for TCP is slower while the speed of UDP is faster. ... TCP does error checking and also makes error recovery, on the other hand, UDP performs error checking, but it discards erroneous packets.

In short, TCP is reliable and guaranteed but UDP is not guaranteed. ... TCP provides ordering guaranteed which means the message will be received in the same order they are sent, UDP protocol doesn't provide such guarantee. TCP is a connection-oriented protocol as compared to UDP which is connectionless.

['1) UDP is much faster. TCP is slow as it requires 3-way handshake. ... ', '2) DNS requests are generally very small and fit well within UDP segments.', '2) UDP is not reliable, but reliability can added on application layer. An application can use UDP and can be reliable by using a timeout and resend at the application layer.']

ICMP has no ports and is neither TCP nor UDP. ICMP is IP protocol 1 (see RFC792), TCP is IP protocol 6 (described in RFC793) and UDP is IP protocol 17(see RFC768). UDP and TCP have ports, ICMP has no ports, but types and codes.

Unlike TCP, UDP doesn't establish a connection before sending data, it just sends. Because of this, UDP is called "Connectionless". UDP packets are often called "Datagrams". ... DNS servers send and receive DNS requests using UDP.

UDP is faster, simpler and more efficient than TCP. Retransmission of lost packets is possible in TCP, but not in UDP. There is no retransmission of lost packets in User Datagram Protocol (UDP). ... TCP is used by HTTP, HTTPs, FTP, SMTP and Telnet.

TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, whereas UDP is a connectionless protocol. ... TCP uses handshake protocol like SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK while UDP uses no handshake protocols. TCP does error checking and also makes error recovery, on the other hand, UDP performs error checking, but it discards erroneous packets.

UDP. Faster Speed – UDP VPN service offers significantly greater speeds than TCP. For this reason it is the preferred protocol when streaming HD videos or downloading torrents/p2p . Preferred – UDP VPN tunnels are the preferred OpenVPN connection method if your network supports it.

DNS and some other services work on both the protocols. ... DNS uses TCP for Zone transfer and UDP for name queries either regular (primary) or reverse. UDP can be used to exchange small information whereas TCP must be used to exchange information larger than 512 bytes.

TCP isn't more secure than UDP, it is more “reliable” as it is stateful and requires acknowledgment of each segment. UDP is stateless and just sends segments without knowing of the client gets them or not. ... Both protocols rely on other protocols to provide security.

Iperf supports two types of transport protocols: TCP and UDP. The major differences between the TCP and the UDP test are bandwidth and results returned. In TCP mode the sender generates as much data as supported by the network, while in UDP mode the user has to define the rate of transmission.

TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. TCP/IP is a set of standardized rules that allow computers to communicate on a network such as the internet.

Originally Answered: Are UDP and IP unreliable to the same degree? ... UDP is layer 4 protocol and IP is layer 3 of TCP/IP model. You cannot compare them because they server different purposes. And anyways, protocols are not unreliable, it's the medium through which data transmission occurs, that is unreliable.

TCP congestion control. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) uses a network congestion-avoidance algorithm that includes various aspects of an additive increase/multiplicative decrease (AIMD) scheme, along with other schemes including slow start and congestion window, to achieve congestion avoidance.
