Question

1. For each item in the table below, decide whether the description is of a connectionless (CL) protocol or a connection-oriented (CO) protocol.

Protocol

description

Uses a preliminary protocol to establish a connection before sending data.

Messages are sent from one end to the other without a prior arrangement.

Relies heavily on error detection.

Uses retransmission to assure messages arrive.

Considered an “unreliable” protocol.

Each end point must be able to transmit for effective communication.

Considered a “reliable” protocol.

2. Give an example of a connection-oriented protocol and an example of a connection-less protocol. Both examples must be commonly used today.

Explanation / Answer

(1) Protocols

A)   Uses a preliminary protocol to establish a connection before sending data.
Ans. Connection-oriented
   CO protocol first establish connection before sending data

B)   Messages are sent from one end to the other without a prior arrangement.
Ans. Connectionless
   CL protocol doesn't guarantee order of messages delevered.

C)   Relies heavily on error detection.
Ans. Connectionless
   Since CL protocol doesn't acknowledged each packets,it heavily relies on error detection

D)   Uses retransmission to assure messages arrive.
Ans. Connection-oriented
   CO protocol retransmit if packet is lossed or received corrupted

E)   Considered an “unreliable” protocol.
Ans. Connectionless
   CL protocol doesn't guarantee the successful transmission of message.

F)   Each end point must be able to transmit for effective communication.
Ans Connection-oriented
   In CO transmission each both end point transmit data.

G)   Considered a “reliable” protocol.
Ans. Connection-oriented
   CO protocol gurantees the successful and error free delivery of messages


(2) Examples
   Connection-oriented protocol
   Transmission COntrol Protocol (TCP): Recipient must confirm it receiver the message.

   Connectionless protocol
   User Datagram Protocol (UDP): Recipient doesn't confirm they received the message.
