UDP is used for those applications that require speed, not quality of transmission. This would include streaming audio and video, and Voip. If you lose a packet or two it doesn't make a great deal of difference compared to file transfer protocol, where everything must arrive correctly.

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.
What application can be delivered using UDP?
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.
How do you configure udp?
You don't need to configure UDP; this is done automatically by the application protocols that use this transport method.
What are the Differences between IP and UDP protocols?
1. IP works at network layer, UDP works at transport layer. 2. UDP carries application data, IP carries TCP segments or UDP datagrams.
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.
Why an application developer might choose to run an application over UDP rather than TCP?

Example of application used by the UDP and TCP?
UDP: DNS, TFTP, DHCP... TCP: SMTP, HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, FTP, SHH, Telnet...
In the sending computer UDP receives data unit from which layer?
Application Layer
What does a client application select for a TCP or UDP source port number?
What a client application usually selects for a TCP or UDP source port number is a random value. The value selected is generally in the range of the registered ports.
