Summary
UDP is a simple protocol for exchanging messages from a sending application to a receiving application.
Detailed Description
UDP adds a small header to the message, and the resulting data unit is called a UDP datagram. When a UDP datagram is transmitted, the datagram is encapsulated in an IP header and delivered to its destination. There is one UDP datagram for each application message.
