TCP & UDP ( POEM)

In the realm where data streams flow,

Two protocols reign, each with its own glow.

TCP and UDP, their names well-known,

In the world of networking, they've firmly grown.

?

TCP, the stalwart, steady and strong,

With connections established, it moves along.

Reliable and ordered, packets in line,

Ensuring delivery, come rain or shine.

?

Handshakes exchanged in a synchronized dance,

Acknowledgments sent with every chance.

Flow control and congestion, it manages with care,

In the world of data, it's always there.

?

But UDP, a wild spirit untamed,

No connections needed, no handshakes claimed.

It sends its packets with a daring flair,

No guarantees offered, but it doesn't care.

?

Fast and lightweight, it travels light,

In low latency realms, it takes its flight.

Streaming data, real-time chats,

UDP handles it all, with no time for chats.

?

In the dance of protocols, they play their part,

TCP and UDP, with different hearts.

One seeks reliability, the other, speed,

Together they form the network's creed.

?

So let's raise a toast to TCP and UDP,

In the world of networking, they're the lead.

With packets flying, and connections secure,

They keep the data flowing, now and evermore.
