Question

Consider infinite buffers in each of the network routers. Thisimplies that there are no associated packet drops due to the lack of buffer space. Furthermore, thecommunication channel never introduces any error and can support arbitrarily high bit rates. Would itstill make any sense to use TCP in this network, or the simpler UDP would already be perfect forsuch an ideal situation? Justify your answer.

Explanation / Answer

UDP is the first of the transport protocols in the TCP/IPprotocol suit, UDP protocol allows application on the computers tosend and receive datagrams. UDP has a packet format. It uses besteffort delivery serivce. TCP/IP contain two transport protocols a) UDP b) TCP UDP is less complex and easier to understand. It does notprovide the type of service a typical application expects. on the other Hand TCP is the major transport protocol in theTCP/IP suit, It uses unreliable datagrams services offered by IPwhen sending data to another computer. It provides reliable datadelivery serice to applications. TCP has only two problems Unreliable delivery by theunderlaying communcation system & System reboots. But in theabove scenerio Underalying communication system is not creating anyhindrance only system reboot can cause problems. but this problemis minimized by the effect infinite buffer. So in the abovescenerio i will strongly recommend the TCP protocol must beused. Hope you will Rate...
