UDP – Connectionless, very little overhead, used for voice and video traffic, can multiplex using port numbers to work with multiple applications

TCP – Connection oriented, more overhead than udp, uses flow control, sequencing , acknowledgements to ensure reliable, ordered delivery of segments, can multiplex using port numbers to work with multiple applications.

TCP – HTTP, FTP, Telnet, SSH, SMTP
