Transmission Control Protocol vs User Datagram Protocol
Developers should learn and use TCP when building applications that require guaranteed data delivery, such as web servers, databases, or real-time communication systems, as it handles congestion control, flow management, and retransmission of lost packets automatically meets developers should learn and use udp when building applications that require low-latency communication and can tolerate some data loss, such as real-time video/audio streaming (e. Here's our take.
Transmission Control Protocol
Developers should learn and use TCP when building applications that require guaranteed data delivery, such as web servers, databases, or real-time communication systems, as it handles congestion control, flow management, and retransmission of lost packets automatically
Transmission Control Protocol
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use TCP when building applications that require guaranteed data delivery, such as web servers, databases, or real-time communication systems, as it handles congestion control, flow management, and retransmission of lost packets automatically
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in scenarios like HTTP/HTTPS traffic, SSH connections, and database replication, where data loss or corruption would be unacceptable, providing a stable foundation for network programming
- +Related to: internet-protocol, network-programming
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
User Datagram Protocol

The Verdict
Use Transmission Control Protocol if: You want it is particularly useful in scenarios like http/https traffic, ssh connections, and database replication, where data loss or corruption would be unacceptable, providing a stable foundation for network programming and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use User Datagram Protocol if: You prioritize g over what Transmission Control Protocol offers.
