9) Which of the followings are/is true for UDP? 1 point

a. It is a wrapper of the IP layer

b. It provides reliable datagram delivery

c. It is suitable for short message transfer where reliability is not a concern.

d. It is a lightweight version of TCP that provides a simple flow control mechanism.

No, the answer is incorrect.

10)Which of the followings are/is true for a transport layer checksum? 1 point

a. Checksum is a simple method to check packet integrity.

b. In case of TCP or UDP, checksum is computed from the payload and the TCP or UDP
