What are the streaming overheads for UDP vs TCP streaming?

JoaquinChung commented 6 days ago

I would say like everything... it depends. If the scientific application tolerates packet losses, maybe we can use UDP transport and get away with low overhead. Otherwise, a reliable transport (e.g., QUIC) must be implemented on top of UDP, and then we can compare overhead apples to apples with TCP
