Detailed explanation-1: -(UDP packets are referred to as ‘datagrams’.) UDP is faster but less reliable than TCP, another common transport protocol. In a TCP communication, the two computers begin by establishing a connection via an automated process called a ‘handshake.
Detailed explanation-2: -User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a communications protocol that facilitates the exchange of messages between computing devices in a network. In a network that uses the Internet Protocol (IP), it is sometimes referred to as UDP/IP.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is user datagram protocol (UDP) User datagram protocol (UDP) operates on top of the Internet Protocol (IP) to transmit datagrams over a network. UDP does not require the source and destination to establish a three-way handshake before transmission takes place.
Detailed explanation-4: -The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is simplest Transport Layer communication protocol available of the TCP/IP protocol suite. It involves minimum amount of communication mechanism. UDP is said to be an unreliable transport protocol but it uses IP services which provides best effort delivery mechanism.
