Which type of applications are best suited to use UDP as the transport layer protocol?

  • applications that require flow control
  • applications that require stateful sessions
  • applications that require minimal transmission delay
  • applications that require data to be reassembled in a specific order

Explanation: UDP is a light-weight connectionless protocol that is well-suited for applications that are susceptible to delay or that do not need the features provided by TCP (guaranteed delivery, flow control, or sequencing).
