Next, you learn about the 4-layer IP stack and differences between the transport-layer protocols Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP).

In the last newsletter we started discussing the protocol stack used for transporting voice over IP. Today we’ll move to the control for those conversations.

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a more reliable transport layer protocol, albeit not as fast as UDP, that establishes a connection between systems only after an automated verification ...

Majority of Internet data travels over a combination of TCP, or the Transmission Control Protocol, and IP, for Internet Protocol. But another protocol is also in use, particularly in gaming ...

Microsoft this week described QUIC, an Internet transport layer protocol alternative to the venerable Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), in an announcement.

This paper seeks to reflect a comparative analysis between the two transport layer protocols, which are TCP/IP and UDP/IP, as well to observe the effect of using these two protocols in a client ...

TCP is a byte-oriented protocol, and UDP is message-oriented. The majority of applications are message-oriented, and applications using TCP have to jump through hoops, such as sending the message ...

This avoids a major problem of TCP, head-of-line blocking, but it also allows applications that deal with multiple logical streams to be written more easily. The next and final article will look at ...
