Network Traffic Question

by beyond hope
I've been watching my event list while I've been on messenger out of morbid curiosity about this worm, and as I expected I've seen a whole lot of RPC probes. I was curious about one minor detail: most often they're TCP probes but every once in a while I see a UDP probe instead. What's the difference?

Different protocols for different things.

TCP is for sessions when you want to be sure that the information is trnsmitted without loss. Webpages,FTP transactions.
UDP is used when speed is more inportant. Most onlinegames like RPG's like evercrack and shoot em ups like Counter-Strike uses this.
