Datagrams
TCP/IP layer 4 PDU's are called segments...
Segements
In networking, PDU means "protocol data unit", and it is the generic name of the "packets" of data used at different levels of the network. Using the numbering of the OSI layers: At layer 2, the PDUs are called "frame". Example: An Ethernet frame, a frame-relay frame. At layer 3, the PDUs are called "packets". Example: An IP packet. At layer 4, the PDUs are called "segments". Example: A TCP segment, a UDP segment.
UDP is a layer 4 (transport) protocol.
the main difference between UDP and TCP is that UDP is not a reliable protocol.
UDP or User Datagram Protocol works on the Transport Layer (layer 4) in the OSI model.
TCP and UDP are transport layer protocols; the OSI layer is layer 4 (transport)
UDP is a Transport layer protocol or fourth layer protocol. UDP is a connection less protocol used in transport layer. UDP header have four fields in total .
UDP - primarily for speed is used to transport voice packets in a VoIP deployment.
DHCP is a layer-4 protocol, most commonly transported over UDP. UDP port number 67 is the destination port of a server, and UDP port number 68 is used by the client
RIP uses UDP protocol with port number 520
UDP
TCP and UDP are two different layer 4 protocols. TCP reliably sends data with acknowledgments and UDP sends data without checking if the destination received it. Skype uses UDP while email uses TCP.
