TCP与UDP区别

TCP与UDP区别

TCP---传输控制协议,提供的是面向连接、可靠的字节流服务。当客户和服务器彼此交换数据前，必须先在双方之间建立一个TCP连接，之后才能传输数据。TCP提供超时重发，丢弃重复数据，检验数据，流量控制等功能，保证数据能从一端传到另一端。UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is anther commonly used protocol on the Internet. However, UDP is never used to send important data such as webpages, database information, etc; UDP is commonly used for streaming audio and video. Streaming media such as Windows Media audio files (.WMA) , Real Player (.RM), and others use UDP because it offers speed! The reason UDP is faster than TCP is because there is no form of flow control or error correction. The data sent over the Internet is affected by collisions, and errors will be present. Remember that UDP is only concerned with speed. This is the main reason why streaming media is not high quality.

On the contrary, UDP has been implemented among some trojan horse viruses. Hackers develop scripts and trojans to run over UDP in order to mask their activities. UDP packets are also used in DoS (Denial of Service) attacks. It is important to know the difference between TCP port 80 and UDP port 80. If you don't know what ports are go here.

Frame Structure

As data moves along a network, various attributes are added to the file to create a frame. This process is called encapsulation. There are different methods of encapsulation depending on which protocol and topology are being used. As a result, the frame structure of these packets differ as well. The images below show both the TCP and UDP frame structures.

UDP FRAME STRUCTURE

The payload field contains the actually data. Notice that TCP has a more complex frame structure. This is largely due to the fact the TCP is a connection-oriented protocol. The extra fields are need to ensure the "guaranteed delivery" offered by TCP.

UDP TCP与UDP的选择      如果比较UDP包和TCP包的结构，很明显UDP包不具备TCP包复杂的可靠性与控制机制。与TCP协议相同，UDP的源端口数和目的端口数也都支持一台主机上的多个应用。一个16位的UDP包包含了一个字节长的头部和数据的长度，校验码域使其可以进行整体校验。（许多应用只支持UDP，如：多媒体数据流，不产生任何额外的数据，即使知道有破坏的包也不进行重发。）
