        **What is UDP Low Latency?**

        UDP provides low latency communication by sending packets without establishing a connection or waiting for acknowledgments, reducing transmission delays.

        **Why is UDP Low Latency useful?**

        Low latency is critical for real-time applications where quick data delivery is more important than reliability, such as live video streaming, online gaming, and voice calls.

        **How does UDP achieve Low Latency?**

        By avoiding connection setup and retransmission delays, UDP sends data immediately as datagrams, allowing minimal packet processing time.
