TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is considered to be a 'reliable' protocol for the transport of data. This is because it uses a applies a conversation mechanism that involves establishing a connection (a process known as 'hand-shaking') before sending the data and waiting for the receiving computer to reply.

If the receiving computer didn't get the complete data (e.g. it didn't arrive or it was corrupted) then it will request that the sending computer retransmits the data.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is considered to be an 'unreliable' protocol because it does not bother with the hand-shaking or the error checking. Data is transmitted and is assumed to arrive at the other end. It's up to the Application Layer (not the Transport Layer) on the receiving computer to sort out the datagrams that arrive and check that they're not corrupted.

IF the receiving computer is going to request missing or damaged UDP packets then it's up to the application to do so, not the Transport layer.

UPD is so called "connectionless" protocol. What it means is that it does not guaranty deliver of your packages.

When TCP make sure that your network package was delivered, it does not have errors, and it put together with other packages in the proper order.

What are protocol architecture?

Protocol architecture or TCP/IP protocol architecture also referred to as the TCP/IP protocol suite is a simple fundamental underlying design which obeys a set of rules and conventions in which communication tasks are to be performed. The communication tasks of the protocol architecture are organized into five relatively independent layers: * Physical * Network Access Layer * Internet layer * Host-to-host, or transport layer * Application Layer In my research to this question it was interested to find out that there were some who consider the protocol architecture to be comprised of only four relative independent layers which are: * Network Access Layer * Internet layer * Host-to-host, or transport layer * Application Layer More information for each layer can be found at: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/cnet/cnbb_tcp_kscb.mspx?mfr=true http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/networking/tcpip/ch01_03.htm
