TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) vs UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
| In TCP, an end to end connection is being set up hence it’s a connection oriented. | In UDP, an end to end connection is not being set up hence it’s a connectionless. |
| It Checks for errors, duplicate datagram’s and if any errors are found the packets are retransmitted. | It Does not check for any errors or Duplication of packets. |
| An acknowledgement is being sent to the sender after receiving the packet. | No acknowledgement is send to the sender |
| TCP has flow control over the datagram’s. | In UDPthere is no flow control over datagram’s. |
| Transmission rate is slower in TCP as compared to UDP. | Transmission rate is much faster than TCP. |
| Very reliable hence delivery of data can be assured. | Not reliable hence delivery of data cannot be assured. |
| TCP is stream Oriented | UDP is packet Oriented |
| Hackers don’t prefer to hack in TCP. | Hackers prefer to hack in UDP. |
In both TCP and UDP communication is Full Duplex.
