| Connection-oriented (connection between source and destination must be verified before communication and is live until sending is done) | TCP |
| Connection-less (session isn't established before messages are sent) | UDP |
| TCP process | 1. Computer sends SYN 2. Receives SYN acknowledgement (message was received) 3. Computer sends acknowledgement received message 4. Data can transfer now |
| Guaranteed transmission (can error-check/resend) | TCP |
| No guarantee of transmission (live, cannot error-check) | UDP |
| Faster | UDP |
| Slower | TCP |
