Chapter 14

UDP provides an unreliable datagram service that is more efficient than TCP for some applications like DNS and streaming media. It does not provide reliability, error checking, or guarantees of delivery. UDP headers are typically smaller than TCP headers since they do not include error and flow control information. This makes UDP more efficient for time-sensitive applications where packet loss is acceptable.

CHAPTER 14

User Datagram Protocol


(UDP)

Exercises
1. Reliability is not of primary importance in applications such as echo, daytime,
BOOTP, TFTP and SNMP. In custom software, reliability can be built into the cli-
ent/server applications to provide a more reliable, low overhead service.
3. See Figure 14.E3

Data
(40 bytes)

5. The server would use the IP address 130.45.12.7, combined with the well-known
port number 69 for its source socket address and the IP address 14.90.90.33, com-
bined with an ephemeral port number as the destination socket address.
7. Efficiency = (16 bytes of data) / (24 bytes of total length) = 0.666 = 66.6 percent.
9. Efficiency = (16 bytes of data) / (72 byte minimum frame size) = 0.222 = 22.2 per-
cent.
