UDP as a transport protocol is used in situations where speed is more important than reliability in the delivery of the packets. Therefore, any application that requires speed as its primary delivery could use UDP. This type of delivery is not checked for consistency or reliability, so you wouldn't use it if the delivery has to be reliable.

Is it possible for application to enjoy reliable data transfer even when the application runs over UDP?

It is possible for an application to enjoy reliable data transfer over UDP. UDP uses checksum to learn whether data reached is true or not. You can also ensure reliability by creating a private protocol built on UDP.


UDP is the transport layer protocol for which application?

UDP can be used in many applications for transport, not just a single application. UDP is commonly used when speed is more important than reliability in the transfer.

Why would you use UDP but not Tcp in real time application?

UDP is alot faster than TCP. So if its realtime obviously it has to be fast, thus UDP. The only problem is UDP isn't as reliable or as secure as TCP. But it does have the speed advantage.


Why would an application use UDP instead of TCP?

UDP does not require as much resources as TCP but in the same time, it does not insure delivery of packets.


Example of application used by the UDP and TCP?

What does a client application select for a TCP or UDP source port number?

How does UDP differ from TCP?

TCP is connection oriented protocol,mean it ensure that a packet is delivered and also set up a connection before sending data to destination source and destination exchange several control signal before sending data.If a packet is lost,TCP resend it. UDP does not establish any communication before sending data.It sends data and forget it.If a packet is lost,application using UDP cannot resend it.A example of UDP is voip,if a packet is lost,a part of conversation is also lost and can not be resend
