TCP and UDP are both necessary because they each have their own advantages. TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, meaning that it creates a connection between two machines before data can be sent and relies on reliable, ordered delivery of data packets. This makes it well-suited for applications that require high reliability, such as web browsing, file transfers, and streaming media. UDP, on the other hand, is a connectionless protocol, meaning that it does not create a connection between two machines before data can be sent, and does not guarantee the order of delivery or that data packets will arrive at all. This makes it well-suited for applications that do not require high reliability, such as gaming, voice over IP, and streaming video.
