Cisco 200-301 Exam - Topic 3 Question 116 Discussion

Under which condition is TCP preferred over UDP?
C) TCP is used when data reliability is critical, and UDP is used when missing packets are acceptable.
A) UDP is used when low latency is optimal, and TCP is used when latency is tolerable.
B) TCP is used when dropped data is more acceptable, and UDP is used when data is accepted out- of-order.
D) UDP is used when data is highly interactive, and TCP is used when data is time-sensitive.

I feel like C covers the main reason for using TCP.

C is the correct answer. Reliability is key when data integrity is crucial. UDP is for when you just don't care.

Haha, option D is like saying "I want my data to be both interactive and time-sensitive." Good one!

I think I read that TCP is better for situations where you can't afford to lose data, which sounds like option C again.

I feel like option A makes sense since TCP is more reliable, but I also remember something about dropped data being a concern for TCP.

I remember practicing a question about latency and how TCP handles it differently than UDP, but I can't recall the exact details.

Okay, let me think this through. I know TCP is good for things like file transfers where you can't afford to lose any data, while UDP is better for real-time applications like video streaming where some packet loss is okay. So I'd say C is the right answer.

I'm pretty confident that the answer is C. TCP is the way to go when data reliability is the top priority, while UDP is better when you can tolerate some missing packets.
