Question:
What type of applications are best suited for using UDP?

  • applications that are sensitive to delay
  • applications that need reliable delivery
  • applications that require retransmission of lost segments
  • applications that are sensitive to packet loss

Explanation: UDP is not a connection-oriented protocol and does not provide retransmission, sequencing, or flow control mechanisms. It provides basic transport layer functions with  a much lower overhead than TCP. Lower overhead makes UDP suitable for applications which are sensitive to delay.
