Network: Internet: Protocol: What is a possible difference between TCP 
and UDP?

---

TCP demands a confirmation (=acknowledgement) of the sender and or
receiver that a package has been received.

Thus more of a feedback system, or closed loop system.

UDP does not demand any feedback, so an open loop system.
