includes TCP as the primary transport protocol, and IP as the network layer
protocol.

TFTP (TRIVIAL FILE

UDP User Datagram Protocol. UDP provides a datagram mode for packet-
switched communications. It uses IP as the underlying transport
mechanism to provide access to IP-like services. UDP packets are delivered
just like IP packets – connection-less datagrams that may be discarded
before reaching their targets. UDP is useful when TCP would be too
complex, too slow, or just unnecessary.
UNICAST PACKET A packet transmitted to a specific node on the network.
