Detailed explanation-2: -Streaming media, real-time multiplayer games and voice over IP (VoIP) are examples of applications that often use UDP. In these particular applications, loss of packets is not usually a fatal problem. In VoIP, for example, latency and jitter are the primary concerns.
Detailed explanation-3: -UDP works by gathering data in a UDP packet and adding its own header information to the packet. This data consists of the source and destination ports on which to communicate, the packet length and a checksum. After UDP packets are encapsulated in an IP packet, they’re sent off to their destinations.
