| Needs more memory due to its complexity | Needs very small memory |
| Interactive | Unidirectional |
| Greater overhead & reliable control needed. | Less overhead and no control needed. |
| Due to above, it depends on TCP transport layer protocol | Due to above, it depends on UDP transport layer protocol |
| Uses TCP port #20 as data port & port #21 as the connection port | Uses UDP port #69 |
