E is correct, UDP is definitely connectionless!

Wait, D is wrong too, UDP is at the transport layer, right?

I’m pretty sure FTP uses TCP, not UDP, so C should be false.

I practiced a question like this before, and I think B and E are correct since UDP is unreliable and connectionless.

I'm a bit unsure about D; I thought UDP was more related to the transport layer, not the data-link layer.

Easy peasy! UDP is connectionless and doesn't guarantee delivery, so statement B is definitely true. And since TFTP uses UDP, statement A is also correct. I'm confident I can nail this question.

Okay, I've got this. UDP is an unreliable, connectionless protocol that operates at the transport layer. TFTP definitely uses UDP, but I'm not sure about FTP. Let me double-check that.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the differences between UDP and TCP. I'll need to think through the key properties of each protocol to determine which statements are true about UDP.

This looks like a straightforward question about the characteristics of UDP. I'll start by reviewing what I know about UDP and then carefully consider each statement.

I feel like I read something about 650 nm being close enough to the visible spectrum that it could glow, but I'm not positive about the exact cutoff.

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.
