Using LabVIEW with TCP/IP and UDP

Internet Protocol (IP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) are the basic tools for network communication. The name TCP/IP comes from two of the best-known protocols of the internet protocol suite, the Transmission Control Protocol and the Internet Protocol.

With TCP/IP you can communicate over single networks or interconnected networks (Internet). The individual networks can be separated by large geographical distances. TCP/IP routes data from one network or Internet computer to another. Because TCP/IP is available on most computers, it can transfer information between diverse systems.
