Concept explainers
TCP:
TCP stands for Transmission Control protocol. It is the most prominent used protocol on the internet. Establishing a path between the source and the destination represents the connection steering noted as the reliable service for sending message provided by TCP.
For example: If man A sends a message to man B, then man B acknowledges that messages and sent the acknowledgement to man A, then another acknowledgement comes from man A to man B.
UDP:
UDP stands for User Datagram protocol. It is also one of the most prominent used protocols on the internet. It generally provides unreliable service of sending messages.
For example: If man A sends a message to man B, but here the man A is not confirmed that does the man B has received his message or not. In this kind of protocol, message can take any path to reach its destination, there is no specific route for the transfer of message also there could be a possibility of losing message on the way of transfer.

- Comparing the features of connectionless protocols with those of connection-based protocols would be a fascinating exercise.arrow_forwardWhat three characteristics about TCP distinguish it from UDP?arrow_forwardWhen it comes to transport layer protocols that can be relied on to provide services, TCP is a full duplex option. What does it mean when we say that something is full-duplex, connection-oriented, and reliably delivered?arrow_forward
- It would be interesting to examine and contrast the advantages of connectionless protocols with those of connection-based protocols.arrow_forwardTCP and UDP are two different protocols, yet they have certain similarities. As a software architect, please provide me two examples of when you would prefer to utilise TCP over UDP.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between the protocols UDP and TCP?arrow_forward
