    - UDP provides simple low-level packet transmission to applications.

    - It contains the IP header, UDP header and packet data.

    - The UDP header contains two fields known as, ports and checksum.

    - The ports serve to differentiate UDP conversations, so that multiple applications on a host can use the UDP protocol simultaneously.

    - UDP provides port numbers to distinguish different user requests and using a checksum verify the arrived data.
