Drag and Drop Question Drag and drop the characteristics from the left onto the corresponding protocol types on the right. Not all characteristics are used. Answer:

The correct answer is TCP: uses a three-way handshake; TCP: preferred for web browsing; TCP: provides a reliable connection; UDP: faster data transmission; UDP: used for streaming and VoIP; UDP: connectionless protocol. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented protocol that uses a three-way handshake (SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK) to establish a reliable connection, making it preferred for web browsing (HTTP/HTTPS) where data integrity is critical. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a conn

Correct arrangement

TCP: uses a three-way handshake
TCP: preferred for web browsing
TCP: provides a reliable connection
UDP: faster data transmission
UDP: used for streaming and VoIP
UDP: connectionless protocol

Explanation

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented protocol that uses a three-way handshake (SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK) to establish a reliable connection, making it preferred for web browsing (HTTP/HTTPS) where data integrity is critical. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol that skips the handshake process, enabling faster data transmission, which makes it ideal for real-time applications like streaming and VoIP where speed is prioritized over guaranteed delivery. The unused option 'belongs to OSI Layer 3' is incorrect for both because TCP and UDP both operate at OSI Layer 4 (Transport Layer), not Layer 3.
