Domain A group of computers and devices on a network that are controlled as a unit with common rules and procedures.
TCP Transmission Control Protocol.
TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data.
TCP guarantees delivery of data and also guarantees that packets are delivered in the same order in which they were sent.
UDP User Datagram Protocol.
This protocol offers a minimal transport service. UDP is used by applications that do not require the level of service of TCP or use
communication services (for example, multicast or broadcast delivery) not available from TCP.
An application program running over UDP must deal directly with end-to-end communication anomalies that a connection-
oriented protocol would have handled - for example, retransmission for reliable delivery, packetization and reassembly, flow
control, and congestion avoidance, when these are required.
This is commonly seen with I/O type devices that send out information at an RPI rate.
