CNET GLOSSARY: Terms for the techie
UDP
User Datagram Protocol A networking communications protocol that works with IP to send data from one computer to another. However, unlike TCP/IP, UDP does not divide a message into packets and reassemble it at the other end; it depends on the communications program to do that. This speeds up processing time.
