Topic: User datagram protocol


  
 User Datagram Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The UDP length field is the length of the UDP header and data.
UDP is a minimal message-oriented transport layer protocol that is currently documented in IETF RFC 768.
(For this reason UDP is sometimes jokingly called the Unreliable Datagram Protocol.) UDP adds only application multiplexing and transactive, header and data checksumming also found in a TCP header on top of an IP datagram.

 UDP (Transport)
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is an unreliable connection-less protocol and is defined by RFC 768 and 1122.
This header is not transmitted as part of UDP or TCP, but is only used to help compute the checksum as a means of being sure that the data has arrived at the correct IP address.
For UDP and TCP checksum calculation a 12 byte pseudo header is included which contains some fields form the IP message header.

 User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
A checksum is calculated using the the 16-bit one's complement of the one's complement sum of data pulled from the IP header, the UDP header, and some of the data.
Length is specified as a number of octets, and since it's a 16-bit value, it provides for a datagram of up to 65,535 bytes, including the header and data.
This data is padded with zeroes so that it is a multiple of two octets before the checksum algorithm is run.

 Chapter 11. UDP: User Datagram Protocol
With an IP header of 20 bytes and a UDP header of 8 bytes, this leaves a maximum of 65507 bytes of user data in a UDP datagram.
The UDP length field is the length of the UDP header and the UDP data in bytes.
The IP datagram contains its total length in bytes (Figure 3.1), so the length of the UDP datagram is this total length minus the length of the IP header (which is specified by the header length field in Figure 3.1).

 UDP: User Datagram Protocol Overview (RFC 768)
Length - It is the length in octets of this user datagram, including this header and the data.
UDP is the transport protocol for several well-known application-layer protocols, including Network File System (NFS), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Domain Name System (DNS), and Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).
Since many network applications may be running on the same machine, computers need something to make sure the correct software application on the destination computer gets the data packets from the source machine, and some way to make sure replies get routed to the correct application on the source computer.

 The User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
UDP Checksum (A checksum to verify that the end to end data has not been corrupted by routers or bridges in the network or by the processing in an end system.
The computer completes the appropriate fields in the UDP header (PCI) and forwards the data together with the header for transmission by the IP network layer.
The algorithm to compute the checksum is the Standard Internet Checksum algorithm.

 UDP: the User Datagram Protocol
The application data occupies the data field of the UDP datagram.
Without performing any handshaking, UDP adds a header fields to the message and passes the resulting segment to the network layer.
If it doesn't receive a reply (possibly because UDP lost the query or the reply), it either tries sending the query to another nameserver, or it informs the invoking application that it can't get a reply.

Applicability Statement This protocol is not a cure-all for the problems associated with NAT.
It is a numeric value in the range of 100 to 699 plus a textual reason phrase encoded in UTF-8, and is consistent in its code assignments and semantics with SIP [10] and HTTP [15].
Examples of such protocols include almost all peer-to- peer protocols, such as multimedia communications, file sharing and games.

 UDP (User Datagram Protocol) (Linktionary term)
The most important thing that TCP and UDP share in common is the ability to establish a host-to-host communication channel for delivering packets between processes running in two different computers.
That is a traffic management issue, as discussed under "Traffic Management, Shaping, and Engineering." Refer to RFC 768 (User Datagram Protocol, August 1980) and RFC 1180 (A TCP/IP Tutorial, January 1991) for more information about UDP.

 User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
The checksum in the IP header applies only to the fields in the IP header and not the user data field; hence the Checksum field in the UDP header relates to the complete UDP datagram.
The Length field is a count of the total number of octets in the complete UDP datagram, including the header.
The UDP transmits its PDUs, known as User Datagrams, individually in the user data field of an IP datagram.

In computer networking, the Reliable User Datagram Protocol (RUDP) is a transport layer protocol designed at Bell Labs for the Plan 9 operating system.
It aims to provide a solution where UDP is too primitive because guaranteed-order packet delivery is desirable, but TCP adds too much complexity/overhead.
It extends UDP by adding the following additional features:

 User Datagram Protocol - Introduction to TCP/IP - Developer Fusion, the UK developer community - VB, ASP, C#, .NET, PHP ...
Unlike TCP, the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) does not present data as a stream of bytes, nor does it require that you establish a connection with another program in order to exchange information.
UDP is sometimes referred to as an unreliable protocol because when a program sends a UDP datagram over the network, there is no way for it to know that it actually arrived at it's destination.
