Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

UDP is called a ____ transport protocol.

A	connectionless, reliable
B	connection-oriented, unreliable
C	connectionless, unreliable
D	none of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -UDP is a connectionless protocol. No connection needs to be established between the source and destination before you transmit data. UDP does not have a mechanism to make sure that the payload is not corrupted. As a result, the application must take care of data integrity all by itself.

Detailed explanation-2: -As we discussed in Chapter 1, sending a message via UDP is somewhat analogous to sending a postcard in that it is totally untrustworthy, providing no guarantees of any kind of delivery. UDP messages are sent and then forgotten about immediately.

Detailed explanation-3: -UDP is a connectionless and unreliable transport protocol.

Detailed explanation-4: -UDP uses a simple transmission model that doesn’t include handshaking dialogues to provide reliability, ordering or data integrity. Consequently, UDP’s service is unreliable.
