Know Thy Protocol

Know Thy Protocol
UDP vs TCP but make it wildly inappropriate. The left side shows UDP doing its thing—just yeeting that dick pic into the void with zero confirmation, no handshake, no nothing. Classic fire-and-forget protocol energy. Meanwhile TCP on the right is out here establishing a full three-way handshake before sending anything, complete with consent verification, acknowledgments for every message, and a proper connection termination with FIN packets. It's the networking equivalent of asking "may I?" before every single action. The best part? TCP even acknowledges the compliment AND the thank you. That's some next-level reliable delivery right there. UDP could never—it doesn't even know if its packet arrived, let alone whether anyone appreciated it. This is what they mean when they say "connection-oriented vs connectionless protocols" in your networking textbook, just with significantly more inappropriate metaphors than your professor used.

Concepts We Need To Know: Networking Protocols And Consent
Ah, the TCP handshake explained through the lens of human decency! On the left, we have UDP (Unsolicited Dick Pics) - a fire-and-forget protocol where data is just hurled into the void with zero confirmation. On the right, TCP (Tasteful Consensual Photos) demonstrates the proper three-way handshake with acknowledgments at every step. This is networking explained in a way that even HR would understand. The TCP side even properly terminates the connection with FIN packets! Meanwhile, UDP is just shouting into the void like that guy who still doesn't understand why he's single. Remember folks: always implement proper handshakes in both your protocols AND your dating life.
