The key differences between TCP and UDP

How TCP guarantees delivery through handshakes, acknowledgments, and packet ordering

Why UDP is faster—but riskier—and perfect for streaming, gaming, and VoIP

Real-world use cases where each protocol shines

How developers design apps around TCP or UDP

Security implications and how hackers exploit UDP’s weaknesses

The role of QoS (Quality of Service) in balancing network traffic

The rise of QUIC and HTTP/3: merging reliability and speed

Whether you’re into cybersecurity, cloud networking, online gaming, or just curious, this episode will change how you see your internet connection.

🎧 Listen in and discover how two protocols designed in the 1980s still power everything from banking to YouTube.
