Overview
In RAD, various connection procedures can help in expanding the information flow. One such connection procedure is the TCP model. The TCP model is also defined as the Transmission Control Protocol. This model mainly works in the transport layer and has several segments that help in the delivery of services. The model uses IP to encapsulate the segments that are common in the transport layer. The TCP model is connection oriented because of existence of specific and unique connection procedures.
UDP is another procedure that can be applied in networking. This model makes use of minimum protocols to send messages across various locations. The two models can be applied in networking to provide reliable interconnections and enhance communication and information flow.
TCP
TCP is encouraged for data streams that are required to be delivered in their original form. It is recommended for sensitive information as it is one of the most secure procedures. In this procedure, each of the streams is handled independently and this ensures information flow is secure and reliable (RAD Data Communications 1). There is a socket pair in the transmission control protocol that helps in identifying each node and port with the relevant information. The transmission control protocol also has a timer, which ensures that data arrives at the right time and to the designated destination.
Transmission control protocol makes use of a certain function known as the retransmission timeout. This time out function helps in identification of the round trip time of the data and determining whether the data that was sent arrived in its original form without any loss or modification (RAD Data Communications 1). The presence of the retransmission timeout makes the transmission control protocol secure and the best method to transport sensitive data.
UDP
The UDP model is another procedure that is important in the realization of networking objectives. UDP is applied in the IP procedures because it provides multiplexing and demultiplexing services. This makes it very reliable and easy to use. It is one of the simplest transport procedures in networking. The UDP is a light-weight protocol that is recommended for light programs and applications in an organization. In multicast and broadcast services, UDP is more effective than the TCP.
Time Constraint
Deploying an effective and reliable TCP and UDP service in any organization requires a lot of time. The processes involved in the deployment of a reliable network are bureaucratic and complex (RAD Data Communications 1). Other than the installation of internet devices and facilities, the public must also be involved in the deployment process. Installation of all the relevant facilities is a process that may take years to achieve. TCP and UDP procedures are therefore some of the most reliable connection procedures as they ensure better communication and good interconnectivity.
If the project is to be taken by private developers, or if it is allowed to operate as purely entrepreneurial, there are possibilities of having a speedy and effective coverage of the region, including marginalized areas.
