RE: Transmission Control Protocol and User Datagram Protocol: An overview
The difference between user datagram protocol and transmission control protocol is the reliability like you stated. If you trust your network for to transmit data fast without interruption then udp is a good choice. But in the case of tcp, the complexity makes it slow because it checks if the data was transmitted successful. The transport layer is much intelligent than the network layer. Nice workdone. You killed it bro!
I beg to differ. TCP is not slow but compared to UDP, can accommodate more data per packet. But you have a good understanding of the concept. Thanks for stopping by.
am not generally saying that TCP is slow, but comparing between both, TCP is slow. because of its duties when handling packets. when comparing the fastest, UDP is faster because it handle errors.. In addition, TCP deals with segments or tcp package its data as segments.
