Line 3:
Reliable protocols typically incur more overhead than unreliable protocols, and as a result, function more slowly and with less scalability. This often is not an issue for [[unicast]] protocols, but it may become a problem for [[reliable multicast]] protocols.
[[Transmission Control Protocol|TCP]], the main protocol used on the [[Internet]], is a reliable unicast protocol. [[User Datagram Protocol|UDP]] is an unreliable protocol and is often used in [[computer games]], [[streaming media]] or in other situations where speed is an issue and some data loss may be tolerated because of the transitory nature of the data.
Often, a reliable unicast protocol is also [[connection-oriented]]. For example, TCP is connection-oriented, with the [[virtual circuit|virtual-circuit]] ID consisting of source and destination [[IP address]]es and port numbers. However, some unreliable protocols are connection-oriented, such as [[Asynchronous Transfer Mode|ATM]] and [[frame relay]]. In addition, some connectionless protocols

==IEEE 802.11==
[[IEEE 802.11]] attempts to provide reliable service for all traffic. The sending station will resend a frame if the sending station doesn't receive an ACK frame within a predetermined period of time.
