TCP vs UDP

TCP
is analogous to telephone
- connection oriented

UDP
is analogous to passing a note from one computer to another computer.
- connectionless protocol
- maximum data size of individual sends is determined by the network

Question to choose between TCP or UDP
1. Require acknowledgement?
2. Sending big file(Such as image or sound file?)
3. Intermittent?
