difference between udp vs tcp ????
In: Technology
It is worthy to note that udp is used when continuity of transmission is preferred over integrity of data.
For instance, when you’re streaming or calling over the internet, the data is being transmitted to your device using udp, because it is more preferable that your stream/call continues uninterrupted. That’s why the stream/call quality may drop sometimes(because a few packets were lost along the way and the mechanism doesnt bother spending time to ask for them again. So the occasional drop of quality you experience is actually those packets being lost.
On the other hand, for stuff like sending an email, where every single bit is necessary, you tcp/IP so that the integrity of the contents is maintained.
