Explanation

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented protocol that provides reliability features including retransmission of lost packets, guaranteed packet delivery, and uses a 32-bit sequence number to track and reorder segments. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol designed for speed and efficiency - it requires fewer computer resources, offers minimal packet overhead (8-byte header vs TCP's 20+ bytes), and is ideal for real-time voice traffic where occasional packet loss is acceptable but latency is not.
