Main takeaway: UDP is sexy, TCP not so much. Did I miss anything? ๐ค
I'd tell you a udp joke but you might not get it.
I need to grow up some time. Shoot!
spoiler
That was the joke. Data sent through UDP might be lost in transport and there's no mechanism in the protocol to catch that fault. Whereas TCP does have a way to recover from such an event.TCP is for business (a.k.a. paying your invoice) and UDP is for fun (a.k.a. your voice chat).
But... What if I want to pay with my voice?
I think TCP is kinda hot too
True, yeah, that stateful back and forth communication elevates it to a whole other level. "Harder", "more", "stop it!", "don't!" and so forth.
