       Can I use UDP and still get all advantages of TCP?

       That depends on the protocols used. TCP provides reliability,
       but if TCP is not used, higher-level protocols can include the
       reliability instead. That is to say, if a packet is not
       received, the higher-level protocol will take the responsibility
       of sending (or requesting) the packet again.
       For example, TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) uses UDP, and
       automatically resends a packet when an acknowledgement is not
       received after a certain time.
