Chapter 23 - Process-to-process delivery: UDP, TCP, and SCTP. Chapter 23 discusses three transport layer protocols in the Internet: UDP, TCP, and SCTP. The first, User Datagram Protocol (UDP), is a connectionless, unreliable protocol that is used for its efficiency. The second, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), is a connection-oriented, reliable protocol that is a good choice for data transfer. The third, Stream Control Transport Protocol (SCTP) is a new transport-layer protocol designed for multimedia applications.
