UDP - User Datagram Protocol

UDP is a connectionless protocol that provides unreliable datagram delivery with no acknowledgment or flow control. It has small overhead and is suitable for simple request-response communication where internal flow and error control mechanisms are used. Key characteristics include process-to-process communication, no flow control, error detection only, and small packet size.

UDP – User Datagram

Protocol
TCP/IP Protocol
UDP – Where ?
Characteristics
 Process-to-Process communication
 No flow control mechanism
 No acknowledgment for received packets
 Error Control : Yes
 detects an error -> silently drops it.
 Unreliably delivery service
 Connectionless
 Small overhead
 Data unit must be small enough to fit a UDP packet
Process-to-Process
Communication
Port numbers

User Datagram
UDP Operations
 Connectionless Services
 Flow and Error Control

 Encapsulation and Decapsulation

 Queuing

 Multiplexing and Demultiplexing


Connectionless Services
 No relationship between the different user
datagrams
 User datagrams are not numbered

 No connection establishment and no


connection termination
 Cannot send a stream of data. Instead data
unit must be small enough to fit a UDP
packet
Flow and Error Control
 No flow control -> no window mechanism -> receiver
may overflow with incoming messages
 No error control mechanism except for CHECKSUM
-> sender does not know if a message has been lost
or duplicated.
 Receiver detects an error (by checksum) -> user
datagram is silently discarded
 Lack of flow control and error control -> process
using UDP should provide for these mechanisms
Encapsulation & Decapsulation
Queue
 Incoming and Outgoing queues
 When process terminated, queues are destroyed
 An outgoing can overflow -> OS ask sender process to wait
before sending nay more messages
 An incoming can overflow -> UDP drops the user datagram and
asks for a port unreachable message to be sent to receiver
Multiplexing and Demultiplexing
Use of UDP
 For simple request-response communication
with little concern for flow and error control.
 For a process with internal flow and error-
control mechanisms (TFTP)
 For multicasting and broadcasting
(embedded in UDP but not in TCP)
 For management processes such as SNMP

 For some route updating protocols (RIP)
