TCP is a point-to-point protocol where two computers talk together, similar to a phone conversation: If my computer can't hear what your computer is saying, it will ask your computer to repeat it. This makes for reliable data transfer, but doesn't scale well to many recipients, for pretty much the same reason that having everybody talking at the same time can only scale to so many people.
If you need broadcast, there's UDP. UDP can offer broadcasts because it is a one-way communication, similar to radio or TV: Just pump the data out there, and it's up to the recipients to catch it. It is the one-way character of UDP that makes broadcast possible.

What is the NetWare equivalent to TCP?
NetWare includes support for TCP/IP NetWare's previous protocol was IPX/SPX
What networking protocols does Linux support?
TCP/IP v4 TCP/IP v6 IPX AppleTalk
What is different limited broadcast and directed broadcast?
Limited Broadcast - Sent to all NICs on the some network segment as the source NIC. It is represented with the 255.255.255.255 TCP/IP address. This broadcast is not forwarded by routers so will only appear on one network segment.Direct broadcast - Sent to all hosts on a network. Routers may be configured to forward directed broadcasts on large networks. For network 192.168.0.0, the broadcast is 192.168.255.255.
If a TCP server were to support n simultaneous connections each from a different client host how many sockets would the TCP server need?
n + 1
Does You tube use TCP or UDP protocol at transport layer Give reasons?
TCP is being used at the time being. UDP Support is still being developed in flash.
Windows xp has inherent support for facilitating connectivity to which?
Novell NetWare, and TCP/IP networks
Ping and tracecert commands use packets from which protocol?
TCP of course because both programs check integrity of sent packages and the delivery status it can be accomplished with TCP (UDP does not support such features).
What application layer protocol is commonly used to support for the file transfers between client and server?
You can use either TCP or UDP. If you need reliable connection use TCP otherwise UDP.
On Windows XP what kind of support it inherent by facilitating connectivity?
Novell NetWare, and TCP/IP networks
How does sctp differ from tcp?
SCTP is a protocol that has the ability to deliver functionality that is similar to TCP. Like TCP, an SCTP session can be configured to offer ordered, guaranteed, delivery with congestion control and a notion of a session. It differs in that it offers other features and has an implementation that is not directly compatible with TCP; both peers' network stacks and applications will also need to support SCTP.
Tcp ip should not be used when?
You wouldn't use TCP/IP in a network that doesn't support it for other devices, such as a mixed legacy mainframe environment with PC systems. In today's world, there is rarely a situation where TCP/IP should not be used because it is such a common protocol across the world.
What is tcp server processes?
The process of a TCP server is to receive TCP connections and handling the data correctly. The letters TCP in TCP server stands for transmission control protocol.
