| UDP versus TCP (continued). |
|
|
|
| Both TCP and UDP split data into | |
|
|
| packets called “datagrams.” However, | |
|
|
| TCP includes extra headers in the | |
|
|
| datagram to enable retransmission of | |
|
|
| lost packets and reassembly of packets | |
|
|
| into their correct order if they arrive out | |
|
|
| of order. UDP does not provide this. | |
|
|
| Lost UDP packets are unretrievable; | |
|
|
| that is, | |
|
|
| cannot be reconstituted in their proper | |
|
|
| order.. | |
|
|
| Despite these obvious disadvantages, | |
|
|
| UDP packets can be transmitted much | |
|
|
| faster than TCP packets | |
|
|
| three times faster. In certain | |
|
|
| applications, like audio and video data | |
|
|
| transmission, the need for high speed | |
|
|
| outweighs the need for verified data | |
|
|
| integrity. Sound or pictures often | |
|
|
| remain intelligible despite a certain | |
|
|
| amount of lost or disordered data | |
|
|
| packets (which appear as static). |
