TCP TRAINING EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
True or False: The parameters in SYN packets specify the values that the local router
intends use when transmitting data - Answer-False
True or False: The parameters in SYN packets specify the values that the local router
needs the remote router to use when transmitting data - Answer-True
Range of ports - Answer-1-65535
Ports are used to differentiate these - Answer-Sessions
Ports specify this - Answer-The type of service that we want to communicate with
Range of well-known ports - Answer-1-1024
The well-known port is usually the port on this device - Answer-The server
A randomly-chosen port will be used by this device - Answer-The client
Way to detect a lost packet - Answer-Examine the sequence numbers
The sequence number increments for every - Answer-One byte of data
True or False: The information in packet headers iterates the sequence number -
Answer-False
True or False: The information in the packet headers does not iterate the sequence
number - Answer-True
True or False: ACK packets contain the sequence number of the last byte received -
Answer-False
True or False: ACK packets contain the sequence number of the next byte expected -
Answer-True
TCP parameter that indicates how many bytes a device can send before it needs to
receive an acknowledgement - Answer-Window size
True or False: TCP window size is adjusted throughout a connection - Answer-True
True or False: TCP window size must remain the same throughout a connection -
Answer-False
