Introduction
A computer never understands human language. So if we want to open a website in a browser we
type in English which is a human language. So how the computer does loads it if it doesn't
understand the human language. This happens with the help of DNS. All the websites have their
unique IP addresses. As we want to search for a website the DNS looks for its IP address in the
data as well as loads the IP address of that particular website. User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is
an alternate communication protocol for Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) that is used
primarily to establish low-delay as well as loss-tolerance connections between applications on
the Internet.

Section 1 TCP and UDP
Definition and Purpose of TCP and UDP
In computer networks, there are two types of Internet Protocol (IP); they are TCP (Transmission
Control Protocol) as well as UDP (User Datagram Protocol). Both are used to transfer data
among networks. TCP is connection-oriented as well as UDP is connectionless. Both the
protocols are important as either one of them become appropriate depending on the
circumstances. TCP is slow as well as congestion prone because of a lot of back as well as forth
traffic but reliable as well as on the other hand UDP is fast but unreliable. So where we need
speed as well as less of error checking we will go for UDP (broadcasting as well as online
games) whereas we will go for TCP if we need error checking as well as flow control (critical
applications where data loss or errors are very damaging) (Bukohwo M., 2016).
Technical description of how it works and what it is used for
TCP / IP for IP Version 4 (IPv4) is a suite of network protocols that allows Microsoft Windows
users to communicate with other computers over the Internet. It interacts with Windows name
services such as DNS as well as primarily security technologies such as IPSec. This can help to
ensure that IP packets between machines are successfully forwarded as well as safe.
There is not any special case like in the same building or in separate. TCP/IP protocol works the
same for both scenarios. Now let's check what it does actually?
TCP/IP is a connectionless protocol; here no acknowledgment is needed to the sender that is why
it is called unreliable communication. It gives end to end connection. TCP/IP carries the
information from one process running on a computer to another process running on any other
computer in any network.
UDP remains for User Datagram Protocol. UDP gives a questionable bundle conveyance
framework based on the IP convention. Similarly, as with IP, every bundle is an individual, as
well as is dealt with independently. Along these lines, the measurement of information that can
be sent over UDP parcel is limited to the sum that can be included in a single IP bundle.
Therefore, the UDP parcel can contain up to 65507 bytes (this is an estimate of the 65535-byte
