TCP vs UDP Comparison

This is an animated video explaining the difference between TCP and UDP protocols. What is TCP? What is UDP? Transmission control protocol vs user datagram protocol. This video will explain them.

[@AayushChakraborty]

So, UDP is basically the protocol that my school teachers use to teach me. Got it!!

[@manfredschultz9619]

Ha. I see what u did there.

[@jameslog3431]

nice one hahaha

[@MrYoung-nq1tl]

Actually, good teachers use TCP. It's the disengaged student that chooses UDP. 😉

It couldve been detailed more as to why UDP is used if it doesnt guarantee data and some other things

-hey, do you wanna hear a TCP joke -yes, I wanna hear a TCP joke -let me tell you a TCP joke -ok, I will hear your TCP joke -are you to hear a TCP joke -yes, I’m ready to hear a TCP joke -ok, I’m gonna send you a TCP joke, which is about 10 seconds long and containing 20 words -alright, I’m ready to receive the 10 seconds long 20 words joke -sorry, your TCP connection is time out.......hey, do you wanna hear a TCP joke

Did you get my UDP joke?...No? Too bad.

[@hylogibbon]

TCP is best for downloading files, viewing webpages that have very specific html/javascript code, and a single missing character could break the content. UDP is good for streaming video/audio, because if it misses something, it doesn't really matter, you might get a few wrong pixels in one frame of your video or something you probably won't even notice. And you want a faster connection for streaming, because you want it to uninterrupted more than you need it to be perfect.

[@tej_kiran__77]

Exactly 👏

Does udp effect gaming?

[@SidiqArraniry]

The best answer

[@muhammad.hameem]

@@Kwt7mood gaming might be using TCP instead of udp, because a single frame loss can get you killed

[@vladimirkunschikov6904]

[@ericlembeck9686]

TCP is like "hey baby, lets get to know eachother before I give you my input ;)". While UDP is "Take my input and like it!"

[@69erthx1138]

Prof Karl Childers, "It ain't receiving no data packets....um, hmm."

[@alexgiorev7252]

A couple of flaws and possible misunderstandings in this video: 0:50 - TCP doesn't guarantee that data arrives at the receiver. All it does is detect when a segment hasn't arrived and resends it. The resent data may also be lost. After a certain number of failed retransmissions of a segment, TCP will give up and abort the connection (so in the end, the segment wasn't transmitted successfully). 2:00 - The SYN ACK message's purpose is not only to acknowledge the client's SYN. This is only the ACK part. The SYN part is the server's own SYN, which is actually what the client ACKnowledges via the final ACK. 2:27: The receiver doesn't let the sender know when a message isn't received. The sender "guesses" that a segment wasn't received because the segment's timer ended. For each segment that is in transit, the sender keeps a timer. If the timer ends before an ACK for the segment is received, the message is resent.

Welcome bro

LMAO!!! I have a short time to understand a lot of networking concepts to pass an exam and I was lucky enough to stumble upon your videos. I have gotten clarity on a lot of concepts in just a few hours. I suddenly feel, networking is fun, and I will always watch your videos exam or not. Your videos made it so. Thanks. Please keep them coming.

[@Cheetah223]

Thanks for the videos. I'm not a particularly computer savvy guy, and have little to no networking knowledge beyond cobbling together the home "network" (a very rough term for getting a few computers on the internet). Your explanations are simple enough to actually help me understand what all the random fields actually mean.

[@satishm9534]

Hello PowerCert, the way you explain or the way you showcase each video is so much understandable where anyone can understand each one so easily. thank you so much for your videos! Pls keep posted as much as you can and I will try to share these to as many as I can... with a sincere thanks again! 😊👍

i normally tend to sleep watching videos but your videos are different, it keeps me interested to learn the material and i don't fall asleep. Thank you, great content!

[@robertwagner8511]

Very well done, I appreciate the explanation, and the humor, that was hilarious! TCP: Handshake, share info. UPD: Handshake, share info faster, punch 'em in the face because, who cares?

[@skyranger696]

You did the example with the website at TCP. You should also make an example for UDP. UDP is mostly used to transmit multimedia streams, if a pixel is missing it doesn't really matter, since the video codec already has error correction in it. Or e.g. in games, UDP packets are sent from the server, since fast response times are often important.

[@houmy9041]

Thank you for explaining that. That makes much more sense!

"NO, but this is fun. Please send more." *sending packets intensifies* I'm crying x'D

i click on videos in order to picture stuff in my mind because otherwise i cannot understand them. Your videos are THE BEST i have found so far. Its like you speak my language.. You have no idea how much you are helping. Thank you

[@mrxmotoxofficial]

with great packets, comes great responibility... however, UDP is like a kid having a fit! TCP is so much more mature. On that note, I would rather watch and see animated videos, when done right, because not only can you get the information out there quicker, but people can also understand it better with an animation of what is going on, rather than just saying, hey, tcp is encrypted and secure, where udp is not. like what do you mean? So animated videos help tremendously in getting people to see the big picture and know what is happening. Thank you for your animations. Very helpful, and Very supportive!!! Props!

[@PowerCertAnimatedVideos]

Thank you. :)

[@rezapourbahreini4473]

As far as I know, the "fire and forget" feature associated with UDP, makes it suitable to be used with real-time systems, i.e a control system that needs to get the data from an analog to digital converter and calculate the required compensations on the fly. For, there are hard deadlines that It has to meet in order to guarantee the performance and more importantly the stability of the system, and there's not enough time to do the three-way handshake to confirm the delivery of each individual data packet.

[@HiNu7]

I really enjoy your videos. They help add additional information for specific subjects where I want a different approach from when studying from Prof. Messer and my reading book. Thanks!

[@86fongkahchun]

Would be better if you say the advantage of UDP. Anyway, UDP is normally used in live video streaming such as Skype or FaceTime, where smoother frame rate is more important (even if quality drops occasionally) than nicer frame buffered but video is more choppy.

[@guywhoknows]

You could have said TCP sends a packet and expects a "I got that" then sends the next pack, expects a "I got that" and so on... UDP, transmits the file packets with no delay for waiting for the other to say "I got that". Packet sizes vary depending on how or what you're sending, it was a big thing back In the early days as different files were sent differently and many connections were not good, so dropped or fragmented files were dropped and had to be resent.
