Well, from what I’ve read UDP is used in instances where speed is valued over reliability and in instances where an occasional dropped packet would not cause too much concern. A real life application where UDP is used in lieu of TCP/IP would be VOIP phone systems, and also video/online game streaming (TCP Vs UDP: When to Use Which Protocol | Twingate, n.d.).
