What are two benefits that the UDP protocol provide for application traffic?(Choose two)
The correct answer is A. UDP traffic has lower overhead than TCP traffic E. The application can use checksums to verify the integrity of application data. UDP offers lower overhead than TCP due to its connectionless nature, and it allows applications to use checksums for data integrity verification.

Why each option
UDP offers lower overhead than TCP due to its connectionless nature, and it allows applications to use checksums for data integrity verification.
UDP is a connectionless protocol that does not establish a session, perform flow control, or acknowledge receipt, resulting in significantly less header overhead compared to TCP.
UDP is a connectionless protocol and does not provide any built-in mechanisms for retransmission or recovery of lost packets; this functionality must be handled by the application layer.
UDP headers do not contain a CTL field, and UDP does not perform a three-way handshake to establish a connection, as it is a connectionless protocol.
UDP does not maintain connection state; it is a connectionless protocol, meaning each packet is treated independently without prior setup or teardown, thus not providing connection stability like TCP.
While UDP itself does not guarantee delivery, its header includes a checksum field that applications can utilize to verify the integrity of the data received, ensuring that it has not been corrupted during transit.
