Drag and Drop Question Drag and drop the TCP and UDP characteristics from the left onto the supporting protocols on the right. Answer:

The correct answer is sends data in a specific order; requires an established connection; supports web browsing; suited for live streaming; retransmission is unsupported; tolerates packet loss. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is connection-oriented, meaning it requires an established connection (via the three-way handshake), guarantees ordered delivery of packets, and supports reliable protocols like HTTP/HTTPS used in web browsing. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is c

suited for live streaming
retransmission is unsupported
tolerates packet loss

Explanation

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is connection-oriented, meaning it requires an established connection (via the three-way handshake), guarantees ordered delivery of packets, and supports reliable protocols like HTTP/HTTPS used in web browsing. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is connectionless and lightweight, making it ideal for live streaming and real-time applications where speed is prioritized over reliability - it does not support retransmission of lost packets and tolerates packet loss without interrupting the data flow.
