The role of the IP address has been characterized as follows: "A name indicates what we
seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how to get there".
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
The
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
Suite, the set of network protocols also used for the Internet. With UDP, computer
applications can send messages, in this case referred to as datagrams, to other hosts on an
Internet Protocol (IP) network without requiring prior communications to set up special
transmission channels or data paths (TCP).
UDP is sometimes referred to as the
Datagram sockets and ports
UDP applications use datagram
Sockets bind the application to service
transmission.
A port is a software structure that is identified by the port number, a 16-bit integer value,
allowing for port numbers between 0 and 65,535.
