Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is an example of a connectionless protocol. Because TCP doesn’t support a three-way handshake while establishing a network connection, it is referred to as an unreliable or best-effort protocol.
True or False?
False
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a connection-oriented protocol using a three-way handshake, a set of initial steps required to establish a network connection. UDP supports retransmission of lost packets, flow control (managing the amount of data that is being sent), and sequencing (rearranging packets that arrived out of order).
True or False?
False
