TCP Overview (26.2) As previously mentioned, both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocols. It is up to the developer to determine which of these protocols best matches the requirements of the application being developed. TCP establishes a connection proving reliability and flow control. TCP Features (26.2.1) This section gives more details about what TCP…

The Right Transport Layer Protocol for the Right Application
The Right Transport Layer Protocol for the Right Application (26.1.6) Some applications can tolerate some data loss during transmission over the network but cannot tolerate delays in transmission. For these applications, UDP is the better choice because it requires less network overhead. UDP is preferable for applications such as voice over IP (VoIP). Acknowledgments and…
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) (26.1.4) IP is concerned only with the structure, addressing, and routing of packets, from original sender to final destination. IP is not responsible for guaranteeing delivery or determining whether a connection between the sender and receiver needs to be established. TCP is considered a reliable, full-featured transport layer protocol, which ensures…
Transport Layer Responsibilities
Transport Layer Responsibilities (26.1.2) The transport layer has many responsibilities. At the transport layer, each set of data flowing between a source application and a destination application is known as a conversation and is tracked separately. It is the responsibility of the transport layer to maintain and track these multiple conversations. As illustrated in Figure…

DHCP Services – 100-150 Exam Guide
DHCP Services (25.2) Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (25.2.1) The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for IPv4 service automates the assignment of IPv4 addresses, subnet masks, gateways, and other IPv4 networking parameters. This is referred to as dynamic addressing. The alternative to dynamic addressing is static addressing. When using static addressing, the network administrator manually enters…
DNS Message Format
DNS Message Format (25.1.3) The DNS server stores different types of resource records that are used to resolve names. These records contain the name, address, and type of record. Some of these record types are as follows: • A – An end device IPv4 address • NS – An authoritative name server • AAAA –…
