ACRO.IT Acronym Directory

UDP provides simple, low-level communication between processes on computers. Processes communicate by sending datagrams to a destination computer or port. A port is the location where you send data. IP handles the computer-to-computer delivery. Once the datagram reaches the destination computer, UDP moves the datagram to its destination port. If the destination port is not open, UDP discards the datagram. UDP shares all the delivery problems of IP.
