I thought UDP was at the transport layer, not data-link.

I think TFTP does use UDP, so option D might be correct, but I'm a bit shaky on that one.

I recall that UDP is connectionless, which makes option C true. That sounds familiar from practice questions.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think FTP uses TCP, not UDP, so option B should be false.

I remember studying that UDP is indeed an unreliable protocol, so I think option A is correct.

Okay, let me review the key characteristics of UDP. I know it's unreliable and connectionless, so A and C are true. The other options seem plausible, but I'll double-check before answering.

Wait, didn't we learn that UDP operates at the transport layer, not the data-link layer? I'm not sure about E.

TFTP and FTP both use UDP ports, so D and B are also correct. I'm feeling good about this question.

I might be mixing it up with another principle, but it feels like revealing too much could go against what abstraction stands for.

I've got a good feeling about this one. The key is to focus on the units and make sure the shaping rate matches the 9 Mbps traffic rate. I think I've got the right approach here.

Ooh, a tricky one! I bet the answer is just A, C, and D. I mean, come on, FTP using UDP? And the OSI layer thing? That's gotta be a trick question. Time to go with my gut on this one.

Alright, let's see... A, C, and D are definitely true. But B and E? FTP using UDP? And UDP at the data-link layer? Sounds like someone's trying to trip us up here. Time to put on my thinking cap!

Ha, this is easy! UDP is the 'Unreliable Datagram Protocol' for a reason. And both FTP and TFTP use it, everyone knows that. As for the OSI layer, I'm going to go with 'true' on that one - why not, it sounds plausible enough!

A, C, and D are all correct, no doubt about it. But E? UDP at the data-link layer? Hmm, that sounds a bit fishy to me. Maybe the exam writers are trying to trick us on that one.

UDP is definitely an unreliable protocol, and TFTP does use a UDP port, so those are definitely true. But I'm not sure about FTP using UDP - I thought it used TCP. And the OSI layer thing is tricky, I'll have to double-check that one.
