Answer to Question #273367 in Computer Networks for May

Question

EXPLAIN any FIVE (5) differences of DCCP from Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

Answer 1

1.DCCP is useful for applications that have time constraints on data delivery while TCP is designed to send packets across the internet and ensure the successful delivery of data and messages over networks.

2.DCCP has the option for very long (48bit) sequence numbers corresponding to a packet ID, rather than a byte ID as in TCP.

3. TCP is a communications standard that enables application programs and computing devices to exchange messages over a network while DCCP is a transport protocol that provides bidirectional unicast connections of congestion-controlled unreliable datagrams.

4.TCP is reliable while DCCP is unreliable.
