  Hello!
  I would like to know which mode consumes less traffic --
UDP or TCP? 
Both during the conversation and in stand-by mode.

  Thank you!

Hello Vladimir,

Using TCP will consume less traffic.

Just to clarify, TCP will consume significantly less traffic than UDP in
both conversation and stand-by mode.

To clarify some more, UDP mode uses significantly more bandwidth than 
TCP-only mode overall, however this is mostly due to DHT traffic. TCP 
packets are obviously a little bigger than UDP packets, meaning a video 
conversation with TCP will use a bit more bandwidth than with UDP if 
you disregard DHT traffic. The difference is probably trivial though - 
if saving bandwidth is your primary concern you should be forcing a TCP 
connection.

  Thank you for your responses. 

  I did not quiet understand, what about the DHT traffic in TCP mode.
Why does it consume less traffic than in UDP mode? Or is it absent in
TCP mode? I thought DHT is the basis of all the Tox network, and thus
it is a necessary activity. Isn't it?

  Thanks!
