Learning

Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is the purpose of sequence numbers in TCP?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how data is organized at the receiver’s end.

Question 2

Easy

What happens when an ACK is not received by the sender?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what TCP must do to maintain reliability.

Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the primary purpose of sequence numbers in TCP?

  • To ensure flow control
  • To provide data integrity
  • To order packets correctly
  • To manage packet fragmentation

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the flow of data and how it is arranged.

Question 2

True or False: Acknowledgments in TCP confirm the receipt of segments only when the complete data stream has been received.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember how TCP tracks individual segments.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Imagine a TCP sender transmits packets 1, 2, 3, and 5, but loses packet 4. How does the TCP receiver handle the missing packet? What actions will the sender take?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how sequence numbers influence acknowledgment.

Question 2

You are designing a new protocol similar to TCP. What mechanisms would you include to ensure reliable data transfer and why?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what contributes to the effectiveness of existing protocols.
