Summary (35:40)

Explain TCP 

Pros: 

acknolwedgment, 

garenteed delivery, 

connection based

congestion control

ordered packets 

Cons

Larger packets

More bandwidth since more headers. 

Slower (because of retransmission) 

stateful once connection is lost its lost, cannot resume it.  

TCP Example (Code)

telnet 127.0.0.1 8080

Explain UDP

Pros

Statless, 

Less bandwidth 

smaller packets

Faster to transmit 

Cons

no ack, 

no garenteed delivery, 

no congestion control

no ordered packets
