Here's our take.
Connectionless Networking
Developers should learn connectionless networking when building applications that prioritize low latency, simplicity, and scalability over guaranteed delivery, such as real-time systems (e
Connectionless Networking
Nice PickDevelopers should learn connectionless networking when building applications that prioritize low latency, simplicity, and scalability over guaranteed delivery, such as real-time systems (e
Pros
- +g
- +Related to: udp, ip-protocol
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Connection-Oriented Networking
Developers should learn and use connection-oriented networking when building applications that require reliable data transmission, such as web servers, file transfers, email systems, or real-time communication tools where data integrity and order are critical
Pros
- +It is essential for scenarios where packet loss or errors must be minimized, such as in financial transactions, database replication, or streaming services that demand consistent performance
- +Related to: tcp, osi-model
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Connectionless Networking if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Connection-Oriented Networking if: You prioritize it is essential for scenarios where packet loss or errors must be minimized, such as in financial transactions, database replication, or streaming services that demand consistent performance over what Connectionless Networking offers.
