Match each description with the corresponding TCP mechanism. (Not all options are used.)
| Explanation & Hint:
“number of bytes a destination device can accept and process at one time” matches with window size. The window size determines the volume of data that can be sent before an acknowledgment is required. “used to identify missing segments of data” aligns with sequence numbers. Sequence numbers are used to track the order of segments and identify if any are missing. “method of managing segments of data loss” corresponds to retransmission. Retransmission is used by TCP to resend data segments that have been lost or acknowledged as not received. “received by a sender before transmitting more segments in a session” relates to acknowledgment. The sender waits for an acknowledgment from the receiver before sending more data segments. |
