Low-latency real-time audio streaming over UDP

So I'm sort of lost and need some direction for research.

I want to build a real-time audio chat environment with as low latency as possible.

I've done a little research and it looks like I have to use the UDP over TCP protocol, but I'm unsure of how to do this.

If I had a dedicated server running lamp, would I run a separate application listen for and serve UDP packets?

Any direction woudl be appreciated.

The best way when it comes to audio or video is to always use the UDP protocol, this protocol does not provide error control, UDP is connectionless protocol that tells me that when you send a data over UDP you don't know if it'll get there, can occur corruption while transferring, to audio or video this can be a nice idea !

You can create dedicated server listening in UDP port to receive all data and pass to the corresponding client!

You need learn about socket programming, choose your preferred language and learn how use socket, this is the way.
