UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is one of the core members of the Internet Protocol Suite, used in place of TCP when a quick delivery is preferred over reliability. Regarding the statement about UDP to evaluate its falsehood among possibilities, consider these truths about UDP:
1. UDP provides a connectionless service. True, UDP sends messages, called datagrams, without establishing a prior connection.
2. UDP guarantees delivery of packets. False, UDP does not guarantee packet delivery, packet order, or protection against duplicates.
3. UDP is suitable for real-time applications. True, due to its low overhead and latency, it’s often used for real-time applications like streaming and gaming.
4. UDP includes extensive error-checking mechanisms. False, while it has a very basic error-checking mechanism via checksums, it’s less extensive compared to TCP.
So, stating “UDP guarantees delivery of packets” or “UDP includes extensive error-checking mechanisms” are false with respect to UDP.
