I am super new to the networking world, so I have a QTcpserver that's currently working with the newConnection signal, but I was wondering if I could use QUdpSocket with a QTcpServer ? It's this possible at all ?
TCP is a connection oriented stream over an IP network. It guarantees that all sent packets will reach the destination in the correct order. This imply the use of acknowledgement packets sent back to the sender, and automatic retransmission, causing additional delays and a general less efficient transmission than UDP.
UDP is a connection-less protocol. Communication is datagram oriented. The integrity is guaranteed only on the single datagram. Datagrams reach destination and can arrive out of order or don't arrive at all. It is more efficient than TCP because it uses non ACK. It's generally used for real time communication, where a little percentage of packet loss rate is preferable to the overhead of a TCP connection. StackOverFlow
So the simple Answer is No , You can't ,because tcp and udp are 2 different protocols .
