  • raw TCP - send package of data and return confirmation that it arrived.
  • raw UDP - Real-time streaming uses UDP - it does not acknowledge that data arrived.
  • HTTP: Example for sending messages over TCP, not raw TCP, i.e. sending the message in small chunks with headers and then assembling the message when it arrives.
