Next, you learn about the 4-layer IP stack and differences between the transport-layer protocols Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP).

TCP is a byte-oriented protocol, and UDP is message-oriented. The majority of applications are message-oriented, and applications using TCP have to jump through hoops, such as sending the message ...

In the world of Linux networking, protocols play a crucial role in enabling seamless communication between devices. Whether you're browsing the internet, streaming videos, or troubleshooting network ...

These protocols try to improve upon TCP and UDP and add congestion control and optimized throughput forwarding performance. Some of these protocols are esoteric and handle rare corner cases.

If it uses the UDP protocol to send and receive data, it will use a UDP port. Figure 1, below, is a represenation of an IP address split into its many TCP and UDP ports.

UDP’s (and QUIC’s) counterpart in the protocol world is basically TCP (which in combination with the Internet Protocol (IP) makes up the core communication language of the Internet).

New so-called reliable UDP solutions offer an alternative to TCP. But are they worth the time or money to implement?

Optimizing a VPN isn't just about picking a protocol - choosing UDP or TCP can make a big difference, too.

The communication takes places through TCP and UDP using packets. In this paper, the authors purpose to analysis packets of TCP and UDP while sending an e-mail using a tool called wireshark.
