TCP connections requires listen() to be called on the server side, while UDP connections do not need that at all. On the client side, TCP clients need to use connect() while UDP does not. This makes it necessarily to distinguish between TCP client and server - to know how to establish the network socket. While the UDP client/server on the other hand are much more similar when creating the

28/02/2019 As mentioned, TCP and UDP are network protocols that you can use from transferring data online. The data flows from your device to a server you are connected to. That means that you are using one of these protocols for every online action you take, be that watching online videos, listening to music, chatting to friends, reading articles (yes, you're using one right now), or anything else. 15/04/2019 I have a pretty standard openvpn install on my home server's Ubuntu. However I face a bizarre problem where downloads from my server's SMB share on TCP are around 30mbps and my UDP is more like 256kbps. Internet browsing (speedtest.net and fast.com) are also much faster on TCP, though UDP isn't as unbearably terrible as with file downloads.

TCP vs UDP- How are they different? TCP and UDP are the two different protocols with each having unique capabilities. For streaming, UDP is your preferred option, but if reliability is all you want, then TCP is the one to do your job.

Sep 15, 2019 There are two types of internet protocols, the first one is TCP: Transmission Control Protocol and the other one is UDP: User Datagram Protocol.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is another commonly used protocol on the Internet. However, UDP is never used to send important data such as webpages, database information, etc; UDP is commonly used for streaming audio and video. Streaming media such as Windows Media audio files (.WMA), Real Player (.RM), and others use UDP because it offers speed! 13/10/2010
