I don't know what you've been reading, but anything worth the ink its
printed with would give examples of that. TCP (connection oriented) vs.
UDP (connectionless) is one of the basic principles of Inet traffic...
you need better books my friend. Or go read some RFC's...

hello
thanks for everyone who replied to my msg.
but as for that part:
Sorry to be blunt, but someone who doesn't understand the difference 
between
UDP and TCP should not even consider setting firewall rules.  You need
to
buy a decent beginners level book on networking that covers tcp/ip
fundamentals.
I KNOW what's the difference between both but theoretically,i read many 
books ,but none gives situations examples,and that what i wanted to get
from 
here.
