Efficient Data Transfer Through Fragmentation and UDP

Fragmenting data requests allows applications to fetch smaller packets on demand, significantly reducing latency and improving performance. Utilizing UDP, rather than the traditionally overloaded TCP, enhances efficiency as UDP packets involve much less overhead. This shift enables the Internet to handle multiple connections more effectively without the cumbersome handshakes required by TCP. Although UDP does not guarantee packet delivery, techniques such as chaining hashes enable loss recovery and out-of-order reassembly of packets. This approach supports asynchronous data transfers, facilitating communication even when recipients are offline, by leveraging relay-based peer-to-peer networking.
