The client-server paradigm.

Which of the characteristics below are associated with a client-server approach to structuring network applications (as opposed to a P2P approach)?

There is not a server that is always on.

There is a server with a well known server IP address.

There is a server that is always on.

A process requests service from those it contacts and will provide service to processes that contact it.

HTTP uses this application structure.

UDP service.

When an application uses a UDP socket, what transport services are provided to the application by UDP? Check all that apply.

Throughput guarantee. The socket can be configured to provide a minimum throughput guarantee between sender and receiver.

Real-time delivery. The service will guarantee that data will be delivered to the receiver within a specified time bound.

Best effort service. The service will make a best effort to deliver data to the destination but makes no guarantees that any particular segment of data will actually get there.

Loss-free data transfer. The service will reliably transfer all data to the receiver, recovering from packets dropped in the network due to router buffer overflow.

Congestion control. The service will control senders so that the senders do not collectively send more data than links in the network can handle.

Flow Control. The provided service will ensure that the sender does not send so fast as to overflow receiver buffers.

That's Correct!
