		IP Statistics: Field Definitions
Field	Values	Description
Name
		UDP versus TCP. (User Datagram Protocol versus Transmission Control Protocol).
		UDP provides unguaranteed, connectionless transmission of data across an IP network.
		By contrast, TCP provides reliable, connection-oriented transmission of data.
		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, out-of-order UDP packets cannot be
		reconstituted in their proper order..
		Despite these obvious disadvantages, UDP packets can be transmitted much faster than
		TCP packets -- as much as 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).
