There is more overhead than just opening or closing ports, there is some with each packet sent.
That overhead is caused by TCP assuring that all packets arrive, and at that in the order they were sent, which UDP does not. UDP does not really work though if you are if you are behind a NAT'ed network or so, I guess. |
