Sequence

A 32-bit number that's used to keep track of where you are in a sequence of TCP segments is known as a(n) ______ number.

Data Payload

Application layer data lives in the _____ section of the transport layer protocol.

Demultiplexing

The concept of taking traffic that’s all aimed at the same node and delivering it to the proper receiving service is known as _________.

Multiplexing

A network has the ability to direct traffic toward all of the receiving services. What provides this ability in the transport layer?

ESTABLISHED

A Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection is in working order and both sides can send each other data. What is the TCP socket state?

Source Port

Which field in a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) header is chosen from ephemeral ports?

Sequence Number

A communication between two devices is over the maximum limit of an ethernet frame size. The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) splits up the data into segments. Which field in the header helps keep track of the many segments?

16

How many bits are in the checksum field in a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) header?

Sequential

In what order will the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) generally send all segments?

RST

One side in a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection has not been able to properly recover from a series of malformed segments. Which Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) flag will be used?

Four-way Handshake

A device involved in a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection is ready to close the connection. The other device in the connection agrees. What has occured?
