TCP vs SCTP
Developers should learn TCP when building networked applications that require reliable data transmission, such as web servers, databases, or real-time communication tools, as it handles packet loss and ordering automatically meets developers should learn sctp when working on systems requiring robust, fault-tolerant network communication, such as telephony (e. Here's our take.
TCP
Developers should learn TCP when building networked applications that require reliable data transmission, such as web servers, databases, or real-time communication tools, as it handles packet loss and ordering automatically
TCP
Nice PickDevelopers should learn TCP when building networked applications that require reliable data transmission, such as web servers, databases, or real-time communication tools, as it handles packet loss and ordering automatically
Pros
- +It's crucial for understanding internet fundamentals, debugging network issues, and implementing custom protocols where guaranteed delivery is needed, unlike UDP which is faster but less reliable
- +Related to: ip, udp
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict
Use TCP if: You want it's crucial for understanding internet fundamentals, debugging network issues, and implementing custom protocols where guaranteed delivery is needed, unlike udp which is faster but less reliable and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use SCTP if: You prioritize g over what TCP offers.
