200-150 Exam - Question 12


Which two options describe services that are provided by UDP? (Choose two.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AE

UDP (User Datagram Protocol) provides session multiplexing, allowing multiple communication sessions to be established simultaneously. Additionally, UDP offers best-effort packet delivery, meaning it sends packets without guarantees of delivery, arrival order, or error checking, leading to faster but less reliable communication compared to TCP.

"UDP is a very simple protocol, and does not provide virtual circuits, nor reliable communication, delegating these functions to the application program. UDP packets are called datagrams, rather than segments." The other two answers, connection-oriented and reliable packet delivery, are characteristics of TCP and are safely excluded as possible answers.
