TCP与UDP的区别

TCP(传输控制协议)：
1)提供IP环境下的数据可靠传输(一台计算机发出的字节流会无差错的发往网络上的其他计算机，而且计算机A接收数据包的时候，也会向计算机B回发数据包，这也会产生部分通信量)，有效流控，全双工操作(数据在两个方向上能同时传递)，多路复用服务，是面向连接，端到端的传输;
2)面向连接：正式通信前必须要与对方建立连接。事先为所发送的数据开辟出连接好的通道，然后再进行数据发送，像打电话。
3)TCP支持的应用协议：Telnet(远程登录)、FTP(文件传输协议)、SMTP(简单邮件传输协议)。TCP用于传输数据量大，可靠性要求高的应用。
UDP(用户数据报协议，User Data Protocol)
1)面向非连接的(正式通信前不必与对方建立连接，不管对方状态就直接发送，像短信，QQ)，不能提供可靠性、流控、差错恢复功能。UDP用于一次只传送少量数据，可靠性要求低、传输经济等应用。
2) UDP支持的应用协议：NFS(网络文件系统)、SNMP(简单网络管理系统)、DNS(主域名称系统)、TFTP(通用文件传输协议)等。
总结：
TCP：面向连接、传输可靠(保证数据正确性,保证数据顺序)、用于传输大量数据(流模式)、速度慢，建立连接需要开销较多(时间，系统资源)。
UDP：面向非连接、传输不可靠、用于传输少量数据(数据包模式)、速度快。

Overview

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is the most commonly used protocol on the Internet. The reason for this is because TCP offers error correction. When the TCP protocol is used there is a "guaranteed
delivery." This is due largely in part to a method called "flow control." Flow control determines when data needs to be re-sent, and stops the flow of data until previous packets are successfully transferred. This works because if a packet of data is sent,
a collision may occur. When this happens, the client re-requests the packet from the server until the whole packet is complete and is identical to its original.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is anther commonly used protocol on the Internet. However, UDP is never used to send important data such as webpages, database information, etc; UDP is commonly used for streaming audio and video. Streaming media such as Windows
Media audio files (.WMA) , Real Player (.RM), and others use UDP because it offers speed! The reason UDP is faster than TCP is because there is no form of flow control or error correction. The data sent over the Internet is affected by collisions, and errors
will be present. Remember that UDP is only concerned with speed. This is the main reason why streaming media is not high quality.
