User Datagram Protocol (UDP): A type of internet protocol that allows applications to send and receive data without the need for an underlying connection-oriented protocol. It is used in applications that require low-latency or real-time data transmissions, such as online gaming and voice-over IP. Examples include Skype, online gaming, and video conferencing.
