What is the difference between TCP/IP and UDP?

Answer Posted / sreevani

TCP is a protocol based on a connection between two
computers. It is used for normal Internet traffic and
applications such as web servers, FTP, etc.

UDP is a protocol based on connectionless communication.

UDP is ideal for applications like video streaming and
online gaming, where lost packets don't need to bre
retransmitted and speed takes precedence.
