What is UDP/IP?

UDP/IP stands for User Datagram Protocol over Internet Protocol. It is a connectionless protocol used for transmitting data over IP networks. Unlike TCP, UDP does not guarantee delivery, ordering, or error checking. This makes it faster but less reliable. It is commonly used for applications where speed is more important than reliability, such as streaming video, online gaming, and DNS lookups.

What other technologies are related to UDP/IP?

UDP/IP Competitor Technologies

TCP/IP provides connection-oriented, reliable communication, while UDP/IP provides connectionless, unreliable communication. They are alternative transport layer protocols within the IP suite.
