TCP vs. UDP in .NET: Speed, Reliability, and the Hidden Cost of Performance

Choosing between TCP and UDP is crucial for data transport. TCP ensures reliability and ordered delivery, making it ideal for critical applications, while UDP prioritizes speed and low latency, suited for real-time scenarios.

HTTP/3 in .NET: Faster, Newer, and Not Always the Best Choice

Modern .NET applications support three major HTTP versions: HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3, each with distinct characteristics. HTTP/3, utilizing QUIC over UDP, offers advantages like reduced latency and better performance on unstable networks.
