TCP/IP and UDP are core network protocols used to transmit data across IP networks. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is connection-oriented and reliable, while UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is connectionless and faster.
Key Points About TCP/IP and UDP
- TCP ensures all packets are delivered in order.
- UDP is faster but may lose packets.
- Both work with IPv4 address and IPv6.
- Essential for internet communication, streaming, and applications.
- Helps analyze My IP info and network behavior.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What is TCP? — A reliable, connection-oriented protocol for data transmission.
- What is UDP? — A fast, connectionless protocol for data transmission.
- Which is better? — TCP for reliability, UDP for speed (like streaming or gaming).
- Do they affect My IP? — They determine how your IP sends/receives packets.
- Are they used with IPv6? — Yes, both protocols work with IPv6 and IPv4.
