Connections
Any time we setup some type of connection there's also some handshake between both nodes between client & server.
With UDP
however there is no concept of a connection.
Instead we send data directly to an address.
With TCP connections however we do assume the concept of a connection which means we have to have that handshake between client and server in order to anything with the target server. This handshake creates a socket on the server and on the client machine through which both can communicate.
