UDP ==>
User Datagram Protocol
<protocol> (UDP) Internet standard network layer, transport layer and
session layer protocols which provide simple but unreliable datagram services.
UDP is defined in STD 6, RFC 768. It adds a checksum and additional
process-to-process addressing information [to what?]. UDP is a connectionless
protocol which, like TCP, is layered on top of IP.
UDP neither guarantees delivery nor does it require a connection. As a result it
is lightweight and efficient, but all error processing and retransmission must
be taken care of by the application program.
Unix manual page: udp(4).
