Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are designing an application that requires low latency communications, but occasional data loss can be tolerated. Would you choose UDP or TCP? Justify your answer using header structure considerations.

💡 Hint: Consider the trade-off between speed and reliability.

Challenge 2 Hard

How would you modify a program to include the TCP options field for Maximum Segment Size (MSS)? Describe the implementation process.

💡 Hint: Refer to how TCP establishes connections.
