Distinguish between the following: UDP and HTTP Protocol

Answer & Explanation:

UDP and HTTP Protocol User Datagram Protocol (UDP): User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a Transport Layer protocol. UDP is a part of Internet Protocol suite, referred as UDP/IP suite. UDP is an alternative communications protocol to Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) used primarily for establishing low-latency and loss-tolerating connections between applications on the internet. A datagram is almost the same as a packet except that sometimes a packet will contain more than one datagram. This protocol is used together with IP when small amounts of information are involved. It is simpler than TCP and lacks the flow-control and error-recovery functions of TCP. Thus, it uses fewer system resources. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP): Web pages are constructed according to a standard method called Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). The Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems that allows users to communicate data on the World Wide Web. An HTML page is transmitted over the Web in a standard way and format known as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). This protocol uses TCP/IP to manage the Web transmission
