Title: TCP vs. UDP Explained – The Internet’s Odd Couple of Communication

Welcome to Technically U, the podcast where we take the confusion out of networking and make complex tech finally click.

Every day, the internet moves exabytes of data across the globe—and it all comes down to just two protocols that couldn’t be more different: TCP and UDP.

In this episode, we break down:

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.

Welcome to Technically U—the podcast that makes cybersecurity, tech, and innovation easier to understand. Have you ever wondered why your internet “just works” when you plug in an Ethernet cable?

The truth is, it’s not magic—it’s math, engineering, and a brilliant little protocol called CSMA/CD: Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection.

In this episode, we take you back to the late 1970s and early days of Ethernet, where hundreds of computers were all plugged into a single cable.

We break down how CSMA/CD managed the madness, why it mattered, and how it helped build the foundation of modern networking. From binary exponential backoff to collision domains to the rise of full-duplex Ethernet and Wi-Fi’s CSMA/CA, this is the ultimate explainer on the protocol that made reliable communication possible.
