Students have asked these similar questions
For the client-server application over TCP, why must the server program be executed before the client program? For the client server application over UDP, why may the client program be executed before the server program?
We have said that an application may choose UDP for a transport protocol because UDP offers finer application control than TCP of what data is sent in a segment and when. Why does an application have more control of what data is sent in a segment and when the segment is sent?
An Internet banking application is implemented using the client server model and deployed over a wide area (Note: unreliable network). Consider the following two requests made by a client program to the server (i) Withdraw Ksh 40,000.00  and (ii) Get Balance. From your understanding of how TCP works, would it be a good decision to implement both operations using TCP? Explain!.
