Which two attributes describe UDP within a TCP/IP network? (Choose two.)
A. Acknowledgments
B. Unreliable delivery
C. Connectionless communication
D. Increased headers
E. Connection-oriented communication
Correct Answer: BC
Explanation/Reference:
UDP Characteristics presents the structure of a UDP segment header. Because UDP is considered to be a connectionless, unreliable protocol, it lacks the sequence numbering, window size, and acknowledgment numbering present in the header of a TCP segment.
Rather the UDP segment’s
Because a UDP segment header is so much smaller than a TCP segment header, UDP becomes a good candidate for the transport layer protocol serving applications that need to maximize bandwidth and do not require acknowledgments.
