UDP

The UDP protocol is fast, but unreliable; data packets can get lost and for the most part, UDP protocol does not care. UDP is a good choice if you have a good, clean, reliable, high performance network. The DTS protocol wrapper ensures that your data is reliably transferred, by re-sending lost packets of data. The use of UDP on a busy network can end up causing more problems than it solves since data packets are continually being re-sent.
