UDP具有较低的开销，如前所述，它对视频和音频等流媒体很好，最好只是丢失一个数据包，然后尝试重新发送和追赶。

TCP传输没有保证，你只是被告知套接字是否断开，或者数据是否没有到达。否则它会在到达目的地的时候到达目的地。

A big thing that people forget is that udp is packet based, and tcp is bytestream based, there is no guarantee that the "tcp packet" you sent is the packet that shows up on the other end, it can be dissected into as many packets as the routers and stacks desire. So your software has the additional overhead of parsing bytes back into usable chunks of data, that can take a fair amount of overhead. UDP can be out of order so you have to number your packets or use some other mechanism to re-order them if you care to do so. But if you get that udp packet it arrives with all the same bytes in the same order as it left, no changes. So the term udp packet makes sense but tcp packet doesnt necessarily. TCP has its own re-try and ordering mechanism that is hidden from your application, you can re-invent that with UDP to tailor it to your needs.

UDP更容易在两端编写代码，基本上是因为你不需要建立和维护点到点连接。我的问题是在什么情况下你需要TCP开销?如果你走捷径，比如假设接收到的tcp“数据包”是发送的完整数据包，你会更好吗?(如果你费心检查长度/内容，你可能会扔掉两个包)

视频流是使用UDP的一个很好的例子。

UDP是完美的VoIP地址，其中数据包必须发送不考虑其可靠性… 视频聊天是UDP的一个例子(你可以在任何视频聊天期间通过wireshark网络捕获来检查它)。 而且TCP不能与DNS和SNMP协议一起使用。 UDP没有任何开销，而TCP有很多开销

只使用UDP，如果你真的知道你在做什么。UDP在今天是在极其罕见的情况下，但数量(甚至非常有经验)专家谁会试图坚持到处似乎是不成比例。也许他们喜欢自己实现错误处理和连接维护代码。

由于所谓的校验和印记，使用现代网络接口卡，TCP应该会快得多。令人惊讶的是，在快速连接速度下(比如1Gbps)，计算校验和对CPU来说是一个很大的负载，所以它被卸载到识别TCP数据包的NIC硬件上，它不会为你提供相同的服务。

我们知道UDP是一种无连接协议，的确如此

适用于需要简单请求-响应通信的流程。 适用于有内部流动、误差控制的工艺 适用于广泛铸造和多播

具体的例子:

用于SNMP 用于RIP等路由更新协议
