SCTP vs UDP

Developers should learn SCTP when working on systems requiring robust, fault-tolerant network communication, such as telephony (e meets developers should use udp when building applications that require minimal latency and can tolerate some data loss, such as live video/audio streaming, voip, online multiplayer games, or iot sensor data transmission. Here's our take.

SCTP

Nice Pick

Developers should learn SCTP when working on systems requiring robust, fault-tolerant network communication, such as telephony (e

Pros

• g
• Related to: tcp, udp

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

UDP

Developers should use UDP when building applications that require minimal latency and can tolerate some data loss, such as live video/audio streaming, VoIP, online multiplayer games, or IoT sensor data transmission

Pros

• It is also essential for implementing network protocols like DNS and DHCP, where quick, lightweight communication is more important than perfect reliability
• Related to: tcp, networking

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use SCTP if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use UDP if: You prioritize it is also essential for implementing network protocols like dns and dhcp, where quick, lightweight communication is more important than perfect reliability over what SCTP offers.

The Bottom Line

SCTP wins

Developers should learn SCTP when working on systems requiring robust, fault-tolerant network communication, such as telephony (e
