A broadcast network is one in which a transmission from any one attached station is received by all other attached stations over a shared medium. Examples are a bus topology local area network, such as Ethernet, and a wireless radio network. Discuss the need or lack of need for a network layer (OSI layer 3) in a broadcast network.

Transport layer foundational protocols TCP and UDP are TCP and UDP, respectively. Please explain why an application would be designed to utilise TCP as opposed to UDP. Give two (2) distinct examples.
Assess connectionless protocols as an alternative to connection-based protocols.
Task NW29. UDP is the simplest transport layer communication protocol. It contains a minimum amount of communication mechanisms. It is considered an unreliable protocol, and it is based on best-effort delivery services. UDP provides no acknowledgment mechanism, which means that the receiver does not send the acknowledgment for the received packet, and the sender also does not wait for the acknowledgment for the packet that it has sent. An end system sends 50 packets per second using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) over a full duplex 100 Mbps Ethernet LAN connection. Each packet consists 1500B of Ethernet frame payload data. What is the throughput, when measured at the UDP layer? Task DS30
Describe the benefits and drawbacks of connectionless protocols, which have been proposed as an alternative to traditional connection-based protocols.
Explain the benefits and drawbacks of connectionless protocols as an alternative to connection-based protocols.
Distinguish between the benefits and drawbacks of connectionless and connection-based protocols.
As compared to protocols that are dependent on connections, connectionless protocols provide a number of benefits but also some drawbacks.
The term "Routing" refers to the process of selecting a path for network traffic to travel from its source to its destination. Its application involves the use of algorithms and protocols to determine the most efficient and reliable route for data packets to traverse through a network.
Explain the advantages and cons of connectionless protocols versus connection-based protocols in terms of performance.
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of connectionless protocols relative to connection-based protocols in the present state of the industry.
