What is TCP and UDP?

Question

Which ones best

Answer 1

They are network protocol

Answer 2

Transmission Control Protocol

User-defined protocol

Answer 3

Which is best????????????

In simple terms -

TCP is transmission control protocol you need this to talk it manages the start point and the end point of your transmission.

UDP is user datagram protocol which controls the data packet you use.

UDP would be pointless without TCP

Nothing is better!!!!

Answer 4

Basically, TCP is connection oriented.

Udp is not.

TCP makes sure every single packet gets there.

UDP doesnt care if some get lost.

If you have financial info being transferred, you're using TCP.

If you're data is sound or video, you dont care if a packet or 10 gets lost and youre going to use UDP.

Answer 5

They are networking protocols.

They both have advantages and disadvantages - there is no "best".

Answer 6

Sorry but to me TCP is trichlorophenol, a disinfectant. UDP, I have no idea, I thought that it might be a French political party but then I remembered that's UMP. I'd be curious to know what these abbreviations stand for.

Answer 9

tcp=transmission control protocol. udp = user datagram protocol, google the subject and you will find out which is better

Answer 10

TCP and UDP are transfer protocols or ways of transferring information over the internet.

TCP basically provides a stream of information from one program on one computer, to another program on another computer.

For example: from the web browser on your computer to web server on a server computer, for viewing websites.

UDP is also used to transfer information, but, with UDP it isn't in a nice stream, the data packets may arrive in a different order and some may be missing. Of course this makes UDP much faster, because it doesn't have to put things in the right order and make sure all the packets arrived.

Both are different and both are better in different situations, if you told us what program you were writing or what you needed a transfer protocol for, we could help you more.
