Resurrecting UDP The sibling of TCP is called UDP, and it isn’t necessarily designed to play well with others. As a very simple, low-level internet protocol, at least when compared to TCP, the UDP ...

(Some protocols and apps give you a TCP and UDP choice, others don't, but that's something to think about later.) The app normally defaults to whatever protocol the provider thinks works best.

RFC-908, dating from way back in 1984, is a good example. Essentially, RDP (reliable data protocol) was proposed as a transport layer protocol; it was positioned in the stack as a peer to UDP and TCP.

While TCP will continue to be the network standard until the QUIC protocol catches on, it's here to stay. It combines the best of TCP and UDP while offering unique features.

The inherent UDP vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2024-2169. “Implementations of UDP application protocol are vulnerable to network loops,” according to the vulnerability’s NVD entry.

In this case, we can see that the protocol overhead for the frame is 54 bytes. This comprises Ethernet header information (14 bytes), IP headers (20 bytes) and TCP headers (20 bytes).

When we send a UDP packet, we are using a connectionless protocol, so we are not looking for a guaranteed response. If the port is available, our UDP packet will (hopefully) be received and a ...

Not sure if this makes more sense here, or in the boardroom. What are some good hypotheticals to demonstrate a working knowledge of TCP/IP- I've asked a couple of these before: * Describe in as ...

UDP’s (and QUIC’s) counterpart in the protocol world is basically TCP (which in combination with the Internet Protocol (IP) makes up the core communication language of the Internet).
