Which of the following statements is correct in respect of TCP and UDP protocols?

Which of the following statements is correct in respect of TCP and UDP protocols? Correct Answer TCP is connection-oriented, whereas UDP is connectionless.

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol):

  • TCP (Transmission control protocol) is a connection-oriented reliable transport protocol. It provides a process to process communications using port numbers.
  •  It provides services like flow control, error control, congestion control. A packet that is sent is known as a segment in TCP.
  • In TCP, transmission requires three phases: connection establishment, data transfer, and connection termination. It uses three-way handshaking mechanism for connection establishment and termination.

 

UDP (User datagram protocol):

  • UDP (User datagram protocol) is called a connectionless, unreliable transport protocol.
  • It does not add anything to the services of IP except providing a process to process communication.
  • There is no flow control, error control and congestion control mechanism in UDP. To send a message from one process to another,
  • UDP protocol encapsulates and decapsulates messages in an IP datagram.

Consider a TCP client and TCP server running on two different machines. After completing data transfer, the TCP client calls close to terminate the connection and a FIN segment is sent to the TCP server. Server-side TCP responds by sending an ACK, which is received by the client-side TCP. As per the TCP connection state diagram (RFC 793), in which state does the client-side TCP connection wait for the FIN from the server-side TCP?

Which of the following statements are FALSE? (i) The total length of UDP header is 8 bytes. (ii) DNS makes use of UDP. (iii) The checksum field in UDP is assigned 8 bits. (iv) UDP requires connection establishment and connection termination between sender and receiver.
Consider the three-way handshake mechanism followed during TCP connection establishment between hosts P and Q. Let X and Y be two random 32-bit starting sequence numbers chosen by P and Q respectively. Suppose P sends a TCP connection request message to Q with a TCP segment having SYN bit = 1, SEQ number = X, and ACK bit = 0. Suppose Q accepts the connection request. Which one of the following choices represents the information present in the TCP segment header that is sent by Q to P?
Consider the following statements about the routing protocols. Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPE) in an IPv4 network. I. RIP uses distance vector routing II. RIP packets are sent using UDP III. OSPF packets are sent using TCP IV. OSPF operation is based on link-state routing Which of the statements above are CORRECT?

Consider the following three statements about link state and distance vector routing protocols, for a large network with 500 network nodes and 4000 links. [S1] The computational overhead in link state protocols is higher than in distance vector protocols. [S2] A distance vector protocol (with split horizon) avoids persistent routing loops, but not a link state protocol. [S3] After a topology change, a link state protocol will converge faster than a distance vector protocol. Which one of the following is correct about S1, S2, and S3?
