Which of the following network applications is better suited for using a connection-oriented protocol than a stateless protocol?
The Windows Server Message Block (SMB) is better suited for using a connection-oriented protocol. SMB enables file sharing over a network and requires reliable communication, which a connection-oriented protocol like TCP provides. TCP ensures the delivery of packets in the correct sequence, error-checking, and retransmission of lost packets, which is crucial for file-sharing applications. In contrast, Domain Name Service (DNS) queries typically use a stateless protocol like UDP, which does not guarantee delivery or order.
DNS is Stateless protocol and SMB is Connection Oriented so I think answer should be "C"
