Explanation
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is the preferred protocol for real-time video streaming, such as feeds from network cameras. UDP prioritizes speed and low latency over guaranteed delivery, making it ideal for time-sensitive applications. Real-time video streaming can tolerate occasional packet loss, but it cannot tolerate delays caused by retransmissions. UDP does not perform error checking or packet retransmission, which reduces overhead and ensures smooth, continuous playback. This is critical for live video feeds where delayed packets are useless.
