|
UDP has less overhead and moves faster and TCP has more overhead
|
|
|
UDP is a connection-oriented protocol and TCP is connectionless
|
|
|
Either A or B
|
|
|
None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -The reason for UDP’s superior speed over TCP is that its non-existent ‘acknowledgement’ supports a continuous packet stream.
Detailed explanation-2: -UDP is faster than TCP, and the simple reason is because its non-existent acknowledge packet (ACK) that permits a continuous packet stream, instead of TCP that acknowledges a set of packets, calculated by using the TCP window size and round-trip time (RTT).
Detailed explanation-3: -The TCP and UDP transport protocols handle much of the data transferred over IP-based networks. TCP offers accurate delivery between two locations but requires more time and resources. UDP requires less overhead and lower latency but cannot guarantee that every datagram will be delivered.
