        **What is the UDP Header?**

        The UDP header is a simple, fixed-size structure that contains essential information for delivering UDP packets.

        **Why is the UDP Header important?**

        It provides key details such as source port, destination port, length, and checksum to facilitate packet routing and error checking.

        **How does the UDP Header work?**

        The UDP header is 8 bytes long and includes four fields: source port, destination port, length of the UDP packet, and an optional checksum.
