Generation

# TCP vs UDP **TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)** guarantees reliable, ordered delivery of data through connection establishment, error checking, and automatic retransmission of lost packets. **UDP (User Datagram Protocol)** sends data without guarantees—no connection, no delivery confirmation, and no retransmission. **Why it matters:** TCP is essential for applications where accuracy is critical (web browsing, file transfers, emails), while UDP is preferred for real-time applications where speed matters more than perfection (video streaming, online gaming, VoIP), since waiting for retransmissions would cause worse disruption than occasional data loss.
