Question

quinn is designing a network. one requirement is that the transmissions be as fast as possible. if a few packets are lost in transmission, that will not significantly affect the functioning of the network. what protocol should quinn choose? udp tcp https dns

Explanation:

UDP (User - Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol. It does not establish a dedicated end - to - end connection like TCP. UDP has less overhead as it does not perform error checking and re - transmission of lost packets (which TCP does). Since the requirement is for fast transmission and a few lost packets are acceptable, UDP is suitable. TCP is connection - oriented and focuses on reliable delivery (re - transmitting lost packets), which would slow down transmission in this case. HTTPS is for secure web communication (built on top of TCP). DNS is for domain name resolution.

Answer:

UDP
