What is the main difference between TCP and UDP?
TCP is faster than UDP
UDP ensures reliable data delivery, while TCP does not
TCP guarantees data delivery, while UDP does not
UDP is only used for file transfers
In which situation would UDP be the preferred protocol?
Sending an email
Downloading a software update
Streaming a live video
Transferring bank account details
What does it mean for TCP to be connection-oriented?
It does not require a connection before sending data
It establishes a reliable connection before transmitting data
It sends data in random order
It only works on wireless networks
What type of communication does UDP use?
Connection-oriented
Connectionless
Encrypted-only
Error-free transmission
Which of the following is a protocol used at the Application layer?
TCP
IP
DNS
ICMP
What is the function of IP in networking?
Ensuring secure data transmission
Assigning unique addresses to devices and routing data
Establishing reliable connections
Encrypting network traffic
Which layer of the OSI model ensures data is formatted properly for applications?
Application
Presentation
Transport
Network
What is the purpose of ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)?
Encrypting internet traffic
Mapping IP addresses to MAC addresses
Preventing network attacks
Controlling network congestion
Why is TCP more suitable for downloading files than UDP?
TCP is faster
TCP ensures all data packets arrive correctly and in order
TCP does not require an internet connection
TCP does not use IP addresses
