what is difference between tcp & udp protocol?

Answer Posted / prashant

TCP is Transmision Control Protocol.
It Devides Data into packets while transmision.
the packets will be sent in perticular sequence and it will
be recieved in the same order in the destination.

UDP is User Datagram Protocol.
the data will be devided into packets but will not be sent
in a sequenced order so the destination will not recieve
data in the same order as in the transmition.

TCP sends an acknowledgement for data recieved hence it is
known as connection oriented.

UDP does'nt send any acknowledgement and called as
connection less.

so TCP is more reliable than UDP.
