TCP vs UDP
/tiː siː piː vɜːsəs juː diː piː/
Definition
TCP provides reliable, ordered delivery with connection handshake; UDP is faster but unreliable — no guaranteed delivery.
Example in context
"HTTP uses TCP for reliability; video streaming uses UDP for low latency, accepting occasional dropped frames."
