Where else can UDP be used besides streams and games?

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is used not only in streaming and gaming but also in other scenarios where low latency and acceptable packet loss are important:

• DNS queries — fast requests to domain name servers.
• VoIP and video conferencing — real-time voice and video transmission.
• SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) — monitoring and managing network devices.
• TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) — simple file transfer protocol.
• Broadcast and Multicast services — data distribution to a group of recipients.
• IoT devices — where simplicity and transmission speed are crucial.

UDP is suitable for applications where speed and minimal delay are important, and some packet loss is acceptable.
