In internet protocol suite UDP is the connectionless protocol. There is no initial communication between client and server. UDP will not check whether the transmission was successful.
Microsoft Word 2007 is a single program - a word-processor. OpenOffice is a suite of programsincorporating a word-processor, spreadsheet and database programs (and others).
Network protocols allows computers to speak with each other. The most common protocol used today is TCP/IP, or the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol suite. Other protocols are still in use but are in fairly rapid decline as more devices and software standardize themselves to Internet connectivity.
suite
If you're installing something - you're setting it up for the first time. If you're upgrading - you're replacing something that's already there by a more up to date version. Take the 'Open Office' software suite for example. I first installed it when it was version 1.4, from a CD-ROM in a computer magazine. I'm now using version 3.2 - which has been upgraded via the internet. Each successive version has over-written the previous one.
