QUESTION Whether an application should use UDP or TCP when streaming stored audioA stored audio is always streamed through various protocols. They are used on basis oftype of audio. A UDP is user datagram protocol is a program that runs on internet. It is used tosend short messages in form of datagrams over a network (Huh, Je and Seo, 2016). UDP is coremember of internet protocol that was designed by David P Reed. This is an OSI that worksbetween client server network. Generally, UDP is used in games and video conferencing. In thisindividual's protocol packets are dropped and then UDP delivers it in different order whichenhances the performance and quality of video. UDP contains four data heads each of 2 bytesthat are as follows :-Source port numberDestination port numberDatagram size Checksumon other hand TCP is transmission control protocol in which data is sent into packets viainternet. It also contains an OSI layer that establish connection and delivers messages overinternet. Besides this TCP transmits large number of data into packets. Moreover, it ensures thatdata is delivered from end to end nodes (Cai and et.al., 2017). In addition to this, beforetransmitting data TCP creates a connection between source and destination so thatcommunication remains active. In this way TCP breaks data into small packets and ensures thatdata integrity is rearranged at destination.While streaming audio it is important to use an application so that data is delivered atright destination. By comparing the features of both UDP and TCP an application should useTCP in streaming audio. This is because TCP provides a better sound quality and deliveryguarantee. Whereas in UDP packets can be lost in streaming. This will lead to poor performanceand quality of audio. In such a complex environment it is essential that streaming stored audioshould run smoothly (Streaming stored audio, 2011). Therefore, TCP provides a higher qualityin bandwidth and is more suitable. In case of UDP, data loss is not retrieved so this leads todelays in video playing. Generally, it is best used to video calling apps such as Skype, Googleduo, vibe, etc. 1
