• UDP
• program

What is the CHECKSUM in the example?

(a)  

What happens if the checksum is incorrect?

• the program will seek a new, revised copy

• the program will fix the data by recalculating the sum

• the program will discard the packet

• the program with return the packet to the original sender

When it's really important for a packet to get to its destination in whole, ____ protocol is used.
