What is a protocol ID?
The protocol ID is a number embedded in the header of the packet to identify the protocol. It is used for many protocols that are not identified with a port number.
What is IP and protocol ID?
The numeric identification of the upper layer protocol that an IP packet should be sent to. The number is stored in the header that is prefixed to an IP packet. Note that the IP protocol number is not the same as the port number (see TCP/IP port), which refers to a higher level, such as the application layer.

What is TCP UDP protocol?
TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, whereas UDP is a connectionless protocol. A key difference between TCP and UDP is speed, as TCP is comparatively slower than UDP. Overall, UDP is a much faster, simpler, and efficient protocol, however, retransmission of lost data packets is only possible with TCP.
Does UDP need an IP address?
UDP Broadcast is an automatic method that can be used without manually entering the IP address of all Audia/Nexia devices. TCP can be used only if the exact IP addresses are known and can be entered manually.
What is an example of UDP?
Examples include Voice over IP (VoIP), online games, and media streaming. Speed – UDP’s speed makes it useful for query-response protocols such as DNS, in which data packets are small and transactional.
How do I find my UDP address?
Finding an open TCP or UDP port (For Windows 10, press the Windows button) and type CMD. Now click on Run as Administrator option. When the Command Prompt window opens, type Netstat -ab and press Enter. A list of TCP and UDP ports starts appearing along with the IP address and other details.
