Drag and Drop Question Drag the descriptions of IP protocol transmissions from the left onto the IP traffic types on the right. Answer:

The correct answer is Sends transmissions in sequence; Transmits packets as a stream; Uses a lower transmission rate to ensure reliability; Transmissions include an 8-byte header; Transmits packets individually; Uses a higher transmission rate to support latency-sensitive application. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is connection-oriented and sends transmissions in sequence, transmits packets as a stream, and uses a lower transmission rate to ensure reliability through acknowledgments and retransmission. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is connectionless, incl

Correct arrangement

Sends transmissions in sequence
Transmits packets as a stream
Uses a lower transmission rate to ensure reliability
Transmissions include an 8-byte header
Transmits packets individually
Uses a higher transmission rate to support latency-sensitive application

Explanation

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is connection-oriented and sends transmissions in sequence, transmits packets as a stream, and uses a lower transmission rate to ensure reliability through acknowledgments and retransmission. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is connectionless, includes a lightweight 8-byte header (compared to TCP's 20-byte header), transmits packets individually without sequencing, and uses a higher transmission rate to support latency-sensitive applications like video streaming or VoIP where speed is prioritized over guaranteed delivery.
