confusing N+ question
|
|
|
| Hi,
Got this on one of the various testing websites, which didn't explain the
answer, and I'm not sure is correct. Comments?
Q: Which of the following are connectionless protocols? (Select 2)
A. TFTP
B. FTP
C. NetBEUI
D. HTTP
the correct answers according to the website are A, C, but nowhere have I
found in any of my N+books that NetBEUI is considered connectionless, though
it does make sense that it might be.
Ideas? TIA,
Lurch

| I believe its because netbeui is not a routable protocol.

I've heard that it can be both connectionless and connection-oriented.
Maybe the question should read "can be", instead of "is"?

I've been studying Net + for a while, and do remember that NetBEUI uses
The TCP protocal, which you should remember is connection based.

| None of them actually are, since connection is a layer 4 concept.
For the test, TFTPis considered connectionless because it uses UDP at layer 4.
NetBEUI does not match with the OSI layers. It can indeed be both connection-oriented and connectionless depending on the context.

| Connectionless means that the host doesn't require a confirmation of a
connection before sending. TCP is connection-orientated so it requires the
host to make a connection. UDP on the other hand doesn't have to have a
confirmation, so definitely the TFTP choice would be correct.
NetBIOS is automatically installed when TCP/IP is installed and runs on top
of TCP/IP. It performs name-to-IP address mapping for name resolution
through WINS ... So, with that mouthful NetBEUI uses more
connection-orientated transmissions than TCP/IP by itself.
