TFTP, or Trivial File Transfer Protocol, is a simple protocol used for transferring files. Unlike other file transfer protocols, TFTP operates on top of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), which is a connectionless protocol. This means that TFTP does not establish a persistent connection between the client and server, and it does not guarantee reliable delivery of packets, error checking, or correction. TFTP is typically used in scenarios where simplicity and minimal memory footprint are more critical than the need for reliable delivery, such as when booting a device over a network123.
