User Datagram Protocol (UDP) — Is a protocol for sending short messages (datagrams) in a time sensitive manner. UDP is a less reliable form of communication then Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and does not check to make sure all data packets have arrived. Datagrams may be sent with missing or lost information. UDP’s lack of attentiveness to lost and missing data results in faster transmission ideal for broadcasts and multi casts.
