tcp 16115
TCP port 16115 uses the Transmission Control
Protocol. TCP is one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. TCP
is a connection-oriented protocol, it requires handshaking to set
up end-to-end communications. Only when a connection is set up
user's data can be sent bi-directionally over the connection.
Attention! TCP guarantees delivery of data packets on port
16115 in the same order in which they were sent.
Guaranteed communication over TCP port 16115 is
the main difference between TCP and UDP. UDP port
16115 would not have guaranteed communication as
TCP.
UDP on port 16115 provides an unreliable service
and datagrams may arrive duplicated, out of order, or missing
without notice. UDP on port 16115 thinks that
error checking and correction is not necessary or performed in the
application, avoiding the overhead of such processing at the
network interface level.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a minimal message-oriented
Transport Layer protocol (protocol is documented in IETF RFC
768).
Application examples that often use UDP: voice over IP (VoIP),
streaming media and real-time multiplayer games. Many web
applications use UDP, e.g. the Domain Name System (DNS), the
Routing Information Protocol (RIP), the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP), the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP).
TCP vs UDP - TCP: reliable, ordered, heavyweight, streaming; UDP -
unreliable, not ordered, lightweight, datagrams.
