A BSD administrator is running a network backup application that transfers data over a WAN link with high latency and occasional packet loss. The application currently uses TCP, but the administrator is considering switching to UDP to improve throughput. Which factor is the most important to consider before making this change?

UDP's connectionless nature will eliminate the need for a three-way handshake

UDP will reduce latency but may result in incomplete backups due to packet loss

TCP's congestion control will automatically adapt to the WAN link's bandwidth

TCP's flow control will prevent the WAN link from becoming congested

Which of the following is a characteristic of UDP?

Flow control and congestion control
