Question 55 :You use a computer named Wkst1 on a TCP/IP network, which is installed with an application that uses UDP to send a file from your computer to a computer named Wkst2. Data collisions occur, and several data packets are lost during transmission. What will most likely occur as a result of losing the packets during transmission?

The protocol will drop the packets

The application will automatically re-transmit the packets

Explanation:

Based on design, the routers will drop the packets as allowed by the Internet Protocol, due to the collision that resulted from the router being busy and the network is congested or that the packet is corrupt as indicated by the check sequence of the Ethernet frame or the IPv4 header checksum

Given that the application uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP) which does not allow recovery of lost packets, but have their defined methods of overseeing lost packets, as such the application will re-transmit the packet.
