Answer #1

IP protocol is a Internet protocol

Generally all the protocols,within the tcp/ip suite

It is a example of client server application

Eventhough it is a connectionless protocol,it has a small duty of error because,

It has a connectionless datagram service

There is no guarantee that exactly it will reach the destination

The sender cant give the judge either it may reach or may not reach

The ip protocol adds the logical source only but not the guarantee and also destination network layer addresses the datagram.

If error occurs this trashes the datagram

This error can be rectified,this ip protocol relies on icmp to send messages

So if error occurs this will send to icmp and then the problem will be solved
