Task 3: Explain the Difference Between TCP and UDP

 Reliability

TCP is more reliable than UDP since it manages acknowledgement and any packet loss will be resent while UDP does not check the readiness of receiver for the packet and any packet loss will not be sent. Acknowledgement, time out and retransmission are not present in UDP.

Difference Between TCP and UDP

TCP delivers a stream of data in a reliable order while UDP is not dedicated to end-to-end connection, and does not check for the readiness of the receiver.
