Difference between TCP and UDP


What is the Difference between TCP and UDP Protocols ?

TCP Transmission Control Protocol 

UDPUser Datagram Protocol

TCP is connection-oriented protocol. and UDP is connectionless protocol.
TCP Data is read as a "stream,"  and in UDP Packets are sent as "Packets" (individually).
* TCP guarantees that will reach the destination. But UDP won't guarantees.
* UDP is faster for sending small amounts of data since no connection setup is required, The data can be     sent in less time then it takes for TCP to establish a connection.
