Difference Between TCP Vs. UDP and it's working.

                             TCP vs. UDP


This article describes how TCP and UDP work, the difference between them, and why you would choose one over the other.

Overview

TCP(Transmission Control Protocol) is the most commonly used protocol on the Internet. The reason for this is because TCP offers error correction. When the TCP protocol is used there is a "guaranteed delivery." This is due largely in part to a method called "flow control". Flow control determines when data needs to be re-sent, and stops the flow of data until previous packets are successfully transferred. This works because if a packet of data is sent, a collision may occur. When this happens, the client re-requests the packet from the server until the whole packet is complete and is identical to its original.

UDP(User Datagram Protocol) is anther commonly used protocol on the Internet. However, UDP is never used to send important data such as webpages, database information, etc; UDP is commonly used for streaming audio and video. Streaming media such as Windows Media audio files (.WMA) , Real Player (.RM), and others use UDP because it offers speed! The reason UDP is faster than TCP is because there is no form of flow control or error correction. The data sent over the Internet is affected by collisions, and errors will be present. Remember that UDP is only concerned with speed. This is the main reason why streaming media is not high quality.When you are watching You Tube then UDP method is used to send the packets.









 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TCP AND UDP WITH HELP OF IMAGES.....






On the contrary, UDP has been implemented among some trojan horse viruses. Hackers develop scripts and trojans to run over UDP in order to mask their activities. UDP packets are also used in DoS (Denial of Service) attacks. It is important to know the difference between TCP port 80 and UDP port 80. If you don't know what ports are go here.

Frame Structure :

As data moves along a network, various attributes are added to the file to create a frame. This process is called encapsulation. There are different methods of encapsulation depending on which protocol and topology are being used. As a result, the frame structure of these packets differ as well. The images below show both the TCP and UDP frame structures.

The payload field contains the actually data. Notice that TCP has a more complex frame structure. This is largely due to the fact the TCP is a connection-oriented protocol. The extra fields are need to ensure the "guaranteed delivery" offered by TCP.

About Basic Networking Topology

           Basic Networking Topology This article describes common topologies used for networking. These are a very basic examples, and large networks often use a combination of two or more topologies. Introduction The term "topology" is used to describe the infrastructure of a network. It is a basic map or scheme of how the network is constructed. Viewing the topology of a network is a lot like looking at the map of city. You can see the central points or landmarks. Popular points of the cities are usually surrounded by a dense population of residents. The same is true for computer networks. The popular points (usually servers) are surrounded by residents (client machines) that connect to the server. If you read a networking book about topology, they will probably cover the physical types of topologies like star, ring, bus, and mesh. While these were all commonly used topologies at one point in time, star...

How to Block Unwanted Websites Using HOSTS FILE and hack HOST file

Block or Redirect Unwanted Websites Using HOSTS File The hosts file is one of the interesting and useful feature of both Windows and Linux operating systems that provides many handy options in addressing network nodes. For instance, you can use the hosts file to block annoying ads, pop-ups, banners, porn sites, or even redirect one website to another . In this post I will show you how to play around with the hosts file to accomplish some of the above mentioned jobs.  Let's take some knowledge about host file. What is a hosts File? The hosts file is just like any other computer file that is used by the operating system to map hostnames and domain names on to their corresponding IP addresses . In other words, when you type “google.com” on your browser’s address bar, your computer will look for the hosts file to see if it contains the corresponding IP address for the domain name you typed (google.com). In case if no entry is present i...

Check Your Mother Board Model Number ,Serial Number, Version, And Many More.

How to Check Your Motherboard Model Number on Your Windows PC Whether you need to update drivers, want to check hardware compatibility, or you’re just curious , it’s way easier to check your motherboard model number with these simple tricks than it is to crack open your computer case to check the board itself . Read on as we show you how to check your motherboard model number from the comfort of your keyboard. Why Do I Want To Do This? There are a variety of situations where knowing your motherboard’s model number is important: upgrading your drivers, buying new hardware (you’ll need the proper expansion slots for card-based upgrades and the right memory DIMMS for memory upgrades, etc.), and checking the capabilities of your board if you’re considering upgrading the entire thing.  First Way (SIMPLEST WAY):- In this way there is only two step :- Step 1:- Go to Run(By Pressing Win+R) . Step 2:- Type dxdiag in Run and hit enter . ...
