Difference Between Stream Oriented and Message Oriented

UDP uses message oriented communication where data is sent in discrete packages without an established connection and provides unreliable best effort delivery without acknowledgement. TCP uses stream oriented communication which requires an established connection, provides reliable data transmission with lost data automatically retransmitted, and includes flow control but at a lower transmission speed than UDP.
