    What, specifically do you mean by protocol? What protocol does your application use?

If you talk about streaming, then UDP is preferable. Because of low overhead and supports time critical transport, while risking packet loss.

If you talk about file transfer, then TCP is preferable. Because of guaranteed transport, but no support for time critical transport.
