TFTP uses ______ communication to create reliability
Lock-step communication
Client and server alternately send a message then wait for a reply
Describe Lock-Step communication
The client and the server alternate in sending messages, and wait for a reply. If no reply is received, retransmissions are made as necessary. This is less efficient than TCP’s reliability measures
