The answer is "UDP", "User Datagram Protocol".
In PC networking, the UDP is one of the central members from the IP suite. It was in 1980 when David P. Reed planned the protocol in 1980. UDP utilizes a basic connectionless correspondence model with minimum protocol mechanism. UDP is better because it deliver packets faster than TCP with shorter delay.
