UDP

Short for User Datagram Protocol and defined in RFC 768, UDP is an alternative protocol to the TCP/IP that runs on top of IP and is sometimes referred to as UDP/IP. Unlike TCP/IP, UDP does not divide each transmission into packets, which allows for a faster transmission. However, UDP does not provide error checking.
