UDP protocol is a means of transporting data in an unreliable (but speedy) manner. Packets are sent without regard for listening to see if they arrive.

The header of a UDP packet is much smaller than a TCP header because it doesn't have all of the overhead that TCP has, namely, checking for packet receipt, error detection and correction, flow control, etc.
