"Stream Versus Packet — TCP/IP is a stream-oriented protocol, while UDP is a packet-oriented protocol. This means that TCP/IP is considered to be a long stream of data that is transmitted from one end of the connection to the other end, and another long stream of data flowing in the opposite direction."
TCP indeed transmits data as an ordered, flow-controlled "stream," whereas UDP sends each data packet individually and without sequencing, more like a "stream" of independent packets rather than a true "stream."
the stream word confuses me since it describes from UDP than TCP. i did read some discussions and now know the answer. But how we always learn that UDP keeps on going and doesn't wait for confirmation, etc. sounds more like a "stream"
This type of questions help learners nothing with gaining networking skills. It's just a language game, and very subjective. The answer purely depends on how you define the word 'stream'. A series of UDP packets and a series of TCP packets both can be consideed as a stream.
Transmission Control Protocol
TCP provides a different service than UDP. TCP offers a connection-
oriented byte stream, instead of a connectionless datagram delivery
service.
The answers are correct imo.
pumped some questions into Copilot and was happy with the results
1 - Is tcp or udp transmitted as a stream?
2 - Does TCP or UDP transmit in sequence?
Cheers
Sends transmissions in sequence - TCP
Transmissions include an 8-byte header - UDP
Transmits packets as a stream - UDP
Transmits packets individually - TCP
Uses a higher transmission rate to support latency-sensitive applications - UDP
Uses a lower transmission rate to ensure reliability - TCP
sends transmissions in sequence - TCP
transmissions include an 8-byte header - UDP
transmits packets as a stream - TCP
transmits packets individually - UDP
uses a higher transmission rate to support latency-sensitive applications - UDP
uses a lower transmission rate to ensure reliability - TCP
The answers are correct!
The size of the UDP header is 8 bytes
The size of the TCP header is 24 bytes
TCP reads data as byte streams and transmits messages to segment boundaries.
UDP uses individually sent packets (also called datagrams) with defined boundaries and checks for integrity on receipt.
TCP guarantees reliability, and UDP guarantees low latency by avoiding sending data in sequence and receiving acks.
this is the answer from question#26., its just confusing
B. TCP provides flow control to avoid overwhelming a receiver by sending too many packets at once, UDP sends packets to the receiver in a
continuous stream without checking.
TCP is considered a stream. It does send packets individually but it sends them continually until the stream of data is completed. UDP sends packets individually in an unorganized manner while a stream is a continuous flow. I don't think of a flow when I think of UDP.
