At the layer 4 of the OSI model, there are mainly 2 protocols - TCP and UDP. TCP is used when reliability is required. For example, when transferring an executable with FTP, a single bit that is transferred wrong will likely make the executable unusable. Most common network protocols therefore use FTP.

UDP is used when fast transmission is more important than reliability. UDP is often used to transmit voice or video.
