Answer to Question #265100 in Computer Networks for cute

Question

 Compare connectionless (UDP) and connection-oriented (TCP) communication for distributed computing. Use human interactions to differentiate between the two types of communications. In your response, include real world scenarios where one is advantageous over the other

Answer 1

Comparing connectionless protocol UDP and connection-oriented protocol TCP has several differences. First, TCP provides error checking support and also guarantee delivery of data to the destination router and this makes it more reliable when sending data compared to the UDP. Secondly, retransmission of data packets is possible in TCP in case packets gets lost in the process of retransmission, you can ask the sender to resend while in UDP data is lost. Finally, TCP data is transmitted in a particular sequence which means if file were send in order the receiver will receive the data in the same order in which they were sent. UDP there is no sequence file may be corrupted because they are not in order.
