UDP, or User Datagram Protocol, is an essential part of the internet protocol suite, offering a connectionless communication model. Here are statements regarding UDP; let’s identify the false one among common understandings:
1. UDP guarantees delivery of packets.
2. UDP is faster than TCP because it does not require a handshake process.
3. UDP does not provide error checking and correction.
4. UDP is utilized for streaming applications where speed is critical and occasional loss of packets is acceptable.
5. UDP allows broadcasting of packets to multiple recipients.
The false statement with respect to UDP is:
1. UDP guarantees delivery of packets.
UDP does not guarantee the delivery of packets; it sends them in a best-effort fashion without ensuring that they reach their destination. This contrasts with TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), which provides guaranteed delivery through its acknowledgment and retransmission mechanisms.
