Comment:
TCP and HTTP have taken their marriage vow (back when Tim introduced the WWW) when they were forced to marry one another :o) for better or worst. But what are the advantages and disadvantages of having HTTP run over TCP. Under what conditions do the protocols co-operate well? Is it possible for us to have HTTP running over UDP? What are the issues?

TCP is a connection oriented protocol. It garuantees packet delivery by a method called "Windowing." It uses sync and ack methods to do this by. It is not quite as fast as UDP but it gets to where it needs to. UDP on the other hand, is connectionless and doesn't garuantee packet delivery. There is no "Windowing" or anything to garuantee the fact that the packets will be delivered properly. UDP is faster because there is no error correction that it uses but there is also no garuantee that the packets will be delivered.
