TCP/UDP Endpoints monitoring with Netdata

TCP/UDP Endpoints Monitoring

What Is TCP/UDP Endpoints?

Understanding TCP/UDP Endpoints involves recognizing the critical roles these protocols play in network communications. TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol, managing data delivery through acknowledgment and retransmission processes. Conversely, UDP, the User Datagram Protocol, is connectionless, meaning it caters to applications where speed trumps reliability.
