Detailed explanation-1: -User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a communications protocol that is primarily used to establish low-latency and loss-tolerating connections between applications on the internet.

Detailed explanation-2: -The User Datagram Protocol, or UDP, is a communication protocol used across the Internet for especially time-sensitive transmissions such as video playback or DNS lookups. It speeds up communications by not formally establishing a connection before data is transferred.

Detailed explanation-3: -Although UDP provides integrity verification (via checksum) of the header and payload, it provides no guarantees to the upper layer protocol for message delivery and the UDP layer retains no state of UDP messages once sent. For this reason, UDP sometimes is referred to as Unreliable Datagram Protocol.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transmission control protocol (TCP) and user datagram protocol (UDP) are foundational pillars of the internet, enabling different types of data transmission from a network source to the destination.
