Why do you have type data gram socket?

A datagram socket represents a connectionless, non-guaranteed communication protocol. It represents the UDP protocol in the TCP/IP suite.Contrast this with a stream socket, which represents a connection oriented, guaranteed, communication protocol. It represents the TCP protocol in the TCP/IP suite.UDP is the underlying protocol for TCP. If you are talking OSI model, UDP is layer 3, and TCP is layer 4.

Why does WikiAnswers incorrectly refer to UDP which stands for unreliable datagram protocol?

ANSWER According to W. Richard Stevens's book, TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1, UDP stands for User Datagram Protocol. It is unreliable, in the sense that there is no retrying defined in the protocol. This is in contrast to TCP, which stands for Transmission Control Protocol. TCP creates a connection layer on top of the unreliable Internet Protocol (IP), by retrying the transmission of sequence-numbered packets so that the receiver can correctly reconstruct the data as it was sent. UDP just transmits the packet, and if any attempt at guaranteeing that a packet was received is needed, it must be done by the application level, not at the protocol level. Note that although it seems like an application should never use an unreliable protocol, the overhead involved in creating TCP connections is often deemed unnecessary, especially for operations done on LANs (ARP, BOOTP, etc).


Which protocol offers guaranteed delivery and is connection oriented?

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is used when data reliability is needed since it is connection oriented and guarantees delivery.
