Questions and Answers

Which protocol is responsible for ensuring accurate and ordered delivery of data over the internet?

  • Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
  • Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) (correct)
  • Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
  • User Datagram Protocol (UDP)

What distinguishes UDP from TCP in data transmission?

  • UDP guarantees data delivery in the correct order, while TCP does not.
  • UDP provides faster but less reliable transmission compared to TCP. (correct)
  • UDP is primarily used for web page delivery, while TCP handles file transfers.
  • UDP establishes a connection before sending data, whereas TCP does not.

Which of the following actions describes 'uploading'?

  • Converting data into a wireless signal.
  • Receiving data from a remote server to a local device.
  • Sending data from a local device to a remote server. (correct)
