Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Interview Question:

Tell me what do you mean by IP is an unreliable protocol?

Submitted by: Murtaza

IP is a unreliable protocol because it does not guarantee the delivery of a data-gram to its destination. The reliability must be provided by the upper layer protocols like TCP. IP does not support flow control, re-transmission, acknowledgement and error recovery.
