Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of the SYN and ACK flags in TCP connection establishment?

  • To initialize the Sequence and Acknowledgment fields (correct)
  • To signal connection termination
  • To reorder data packets
  • To agree on port numbers and window size

    • Why does TCP initialize the Sequence Number field to a random 32-bit number?

  • To avoid malicious attacks
  • To differentiate between connections (correct)
  • To ensure reliable data transfer
  • To speed up connection establishment

    • How is the Acknowledgment Number used in TCP?

  • It increments the sender's sequence number by 1 (correct)
  • It reorders data packets
  • It signals the end of connection termination
  • It represents the source port number
