Can someone please explain me why would a UDP Server not need to use thread and why would a TCP server need to use threads during the client/server communication?
thanks

I think you’ve misunderstood. There is no need for a UDP server to use more than one thread, as it only has to deal with one socket. A TCP server has to deal with a socket per connection, and in blocking mode it therefore needs a thread per connection, in addition to the thread dealing with the listening socket.
