TCP is a robust protocol: sequencing and error correction are assured, but there is a penalty in overhead (e.g., if no resequencing or error correction is needed). UDP does not provide these services but is correspondingly simpler. Cite specific situations in which the lightweight UDP protocol could be acceptable, that is, when error correction or sequencing is not needed

What will be an ideal response?
