Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

UDP does not provide error correction, but it provides faster transport of data as it does not have to wait for error correction. Therefore, applications that do not require error correction can use UDP at the transport layer. On the other hand, TCP provides error correction, but it slows down the data transport because it waits for the error correction before transmitting the data. Hence, using TCP for applications that don't require error correction would be unnecessarily slow.
