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.

- Examine the distinctions between TCP and UDP in greater detail.arrow_forwardThe two main protocols that work at the transport layer are TCP and UDP. Please explain why TCP rather than UDP might be used in the development of a certain application. Give two (2) cases, each distinct.arrow_forwardTCP is a lightweight Transport-layer protocol that allows programmes to interact with one another. Many of the same properties of UDP, such as reliability and flow control, are absent. Is it correct or incorrect?arrow_forward
- Why does the transport layer protocol in HTTP, SMTP, and POP3 happen to be TCP rather than UDP?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_forwardTwo distinct protocols that may be contrasted are TCP and UDP. Give two examples of situations when you, as a software architect, might choose TCP over UDP.arrow_forward
