Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
Connection-oriented protocol
Does not support broadcasting
Comparatively slower than UDP
Reliable and guarantees delivery of data to destination
Sequences data; packets arrive in-order at the receiver
Extensive error checking mechanism; provides flow control & acknowledgment of data
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
Datagram-oriented protocol
Supports broadcasting
Faster, simpler & more efficient than TCP
Delivery of data to destination cannot be guaranteed in UDP
No sequencing of data; has to be managed by application layer if ordering is required
Only has basic error checking mechanism using checksums
Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)
Application Layer
Presentation Layer
Session Layer
Transport Layer
Network Layer
Data Link Layer
Physical Layer
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Used for both IPv4 & IPv6
Uses UDP as its transport protocol
Automates IP configuration, including IP address, subnet mask, default gateway & DNS information
Translates internet domain and host names to IP address
Operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets to target host and waiting for ICMP echo reply
ping localhost or ping 127.0.0.1 to test IP stack
