Question No : 1
How does TCP differ from UDP? (Choose two.)
A. TCP provides best effort delivery.
B. TCP provides synchronized communication.
C. TCP segments are essentially datagrams.
D. TCP provides sequence numbering of packets.
E. TCP uses broadcast delivery.
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
Because TCP is a connection-oriented protocol responsible for ensuring the transfer of a
datagram from the source to destination machine (end-to-end communications), TCP must
receive communications messages from the destination machine to acknowledge receipt of
the datagram. The term virtual circuit is usually used to refer to the handshaking that goes
on between the two end machines, most of which are simple acknowledgment messages
(either confirmation of receipt or a failure code) and datagram sequence numbers.
Rather than impose a state within the network to support the connection, TCP uses
synchronized state between the two endpoints. This synchronized state is set up as part of
an initial connection process, so TCP can be regarded as a connection-oriented protocol.
Much of the protocol design is intended to ensure that each local state transition is
communicated to, and acknowledged by, the remote party.
