UDP: User Datagram Protocol

As opposed to TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) UDP is a stateless protocoll used to send message from and to the tremulous server/client. Apart from being used in multiplayer games it is also used in filesharing software and others.

TCP is used in software that needs a more reliable connection like email software and webbrowser.

With UDP the software has to be programmed very thorough to keep track of all send and maybe lost data packets whereas the TCP stack makes sure that the data packet reaches its destination.

Basically your router probably has an option when forwarding a port to choose udp or tcp.  Pick udp.
