socket(), listen(), bind(), accept()

Which characteristic is true of connection-oriented communication like TCP?

It is faster than connectionless protocols.

It has lower overhead than connectionless protocols.

It does not guarantee delivery of data.

It establishes a session before data transfer.

How does a client typically initiate communication with a server?

By sending a packet to the server's MAC address only.

By broadcasting a request to all hosts on the network.

By listening on a random port for server responses.

By connecting to the server's IP address and port.

In a client-server model, what is the primary role of the server?
