TCP
Transmisson Control Protocol is a core protocol of the Internet Protocol Suites which provides a reliable, ordered, error-checked delivery pf data between applications running on hosts communicating via an IP network.
UDP
User Datagram Protocol is a simpler and faster protocol than TCP, it’s used to send data without guaranteeing delivery or order, making it ideal for applications like video-streaming or online gaming where speed is more important than reliability.
Machine Learning
Machine Learning is an area of artificial intelligence which allows the computer to learn and make predictions based on data, improving as it is exposed to more information.
Virtual Machine
Virtual Machine is a software which allows an operating system to run inside another operating system. The Virtual Machine is separated from the host operating system, both of them having they’re own virtual hardware and resources.
API
