DNS uses UDP because of its speed and the low overhead associated with UDP datagrams. DNS queries are small, quick operations and the overhead for a TCP connection would be greater than the data being transferred. UDP is also well suited for broadcast and multicast transmissions, which is essential for the domain name resolution process.
