Problem 6 - Entrance Test

What is the primary difference between TCP and UDP protocols?

Correct: B

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented protocol that provides reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol that is faster but unreliable, with no guarantee of delivery or ordering. TCP's reliability features introduce overhead, making UDP faster for applications where some data loss is acceptable.
