work. UDP is faster, but less reliable than TCP. The UTP protocol resides at the Transport layer of the TCP/IP layer and provides a connectionless service. This means that with UDP, packets are not guaranteed to arrive in the correct sequence to the recipient. Also, UDP does not offer any error checking or sequence numbering. However, the simplicity of UTP makes it more efficient than then TCP. UTP is very useful when a fast transfer rate is required. Examples include streaming video, live audio, and multi-player games. In these instances, TCP would be too slow because of all of the error checking and sequence numbering (Microsoft). FTP allows for the transfer of files between two or more different types of computers on a network, such as an Apple Macintosh system and a Windows system. FTP is a client/server protocol. The server or host computer running FTP accepts commands from the client. Both computers must be running the FTP protocol in order for files to be transferred using FTP (Whitehead 132).ARP is a protocol that is part of the Internet layer of the TCP/IP model. It is responsible for obtaining the MAC addresses of devices on a network. ARP creates a database that maps the hosts IP address to its MAC address. A message is broadcast over the network requesting the computer with a specific IP address to transmit its MAC address. The computer with that IP address then broadcasts a reply containing the physical address (Dux Digest).DHCP is a protocol that allows for the communication between computers and the administration of IP addresses. With DHCP, static IP addresses are not assigned to each individually computer manually. Each computer is assigned a dynamic IP address by the DHCP server. A DHCP server is capable of assigning IP addresses to all of the computers on a network (Dux Digest).When accessing a web-site, one would use a computer name such as www.thispaperisalmostover.com, this name must be translated ...
