Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Data is passed to IP typically from one of the two main transport layer protocols: TCP or UDP. This data is already in the form of a TCP or UDP message with TCP or UDP headers. This is then encapsulated into the body of an IP message, usually called an IP datagram or IP packet.
Detailed explanation-3: -The smallest amount of process data that can be encapsulated in a UDP datagram is 0 bytes.
