UDP is an alternative to the Transmission Control Protocol, although it is still considered a communications protocol.
By using UDP, computer applications are able to send messages, datagrams, to other hosts on an Internet Protocol network. It works by creating a connectionless transmission model that requires a minimum protocol mechanism.
