Answer:

UDP reduces overhead because it does not add flow control, error control, or sequence delivery unlike connection-oriented services. UDP is used for the transmission of data in which delivery of the data is more important than accuracy. Therefore, UDP is needed.

Answer:

Applications can't access IP directly due to the lack of application level (port) ad- dressing. UDP adds a port addressing capability to IP. It also includes an optional checksum for the user data which provides error checking
