▼ TCP/IP Layer 4 Protocols: TCP and UDP
➘ The key difference between TCP and UDP is that TCP provides error
recovery or retransmission of data where UDP does not.
➘ Recall that layer 2 provides error detection but does not provide
correction.
➘ Many applications use TCP like the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) but UDP has less overhead and
is used by applications like Voice over IP (VoIP) and video over IP
which do not require error recover.
