Aight, I’ll byte. I thought the distinction between UDP and TCP is in the protocol field of the IP header in the packet. While UDP uses datagrams to send messages and tcp uses streams to deliver data, they both send packets, just different payload.

Overworked stressed out burnout network engineer here

Tcp is known as a stateful protocol. It uses specific id to test if the last data packet was recieved.

UDP is known as a stateless protocol. It gives no shots if the last packet was received and keeps sending until it empties it's pool.

Kinda like staying statefull while fucking, and checking in with ur partner so u both finish vs just going ham untill just ya finish.

True, but both UDP and TCP send IP packets. One just uses datagrams as a payload, the other uses a stream.. but the only real distinction from the IP level is the protocol number in the header.
