This exam question is making me thirsty. I could really go for a nice, refreshing UDP right about now. Wait, what?

D is just plain wrong. UDP operates at the transport layer, not the data-link layer. Somebody slept through their networking classes!

I'm pretty sure C is wrong - FTP uses TCP, not UDP. Although, maybe some hackers use UDP for their nefarious FTP activities? Hmm, I'll have to look into that.

B is true, UDP is an unreliable protocol because it doesn't guarantee delivery of packets. But it's great for real-time applications like video streaming where a few lost packets aren't a big deal.

Definitely A and E! TFTP relies on UDP for its simple and fast data transfer, and UDP is known for being connectionless. I can't believe people still think it's a reliable protocol.
