Solution

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) attempts to ensure the following services:

  1. Transmitted data is guaranteed to arrive at the destination: This is not entirely true. TCP does its best to ensure data delivery by using acknowledgments and retransmissions, but it cannot provide an absolute guarantee.

  2. The sender and receiver will be notified if data is lost in transmission and cannot be recovered: True. TCP uses acknowledgments to confirm the receipt of data. If an acknowledgment is not received within a certain time frame, the sender assumes the data was lost and retransmits it.

  3. TCP can detect if data is intentionally altered during transmission and if it is altered TCP will not deliver the data: False. TCP does not have the ability to detect intentional alterations. It can only detect errors through checksums, which are not designed to catch intentional alterations.

  4. TCP ensures data will arrive at the receiver in the same order it was sent: True. TCP uses sequence numbers to ensure that data is delivered in the correct order.

  5. TCP can detect if data is accidentally corrupted during transmission and if it is TCP will not deliver the data: True. TCP uses a checksum to verify the integrity of the data. If the data is corrupted, TCP will request a retransmission.

2.1-4 TCP service. When an application uses a TCP socket, what transport services are provided to the application by TCP?  Check all that apply.Group of answer choicesFlow Control. The provided service will ensure that the sender does not send so fast as to overflow receiver buffers.Throughput guarantee. The socket can be configured to provide a minimum throughput guarantee between sender and receiver.Real-time delivery. The service will guarantee that data will be delivered to the receiver within a specified time bound.Best effort service.  The service will make a best effort to deliver data to the destination but makes no guarantees that any particular segment of data will actually get there.Congestion control.  The service will control senders so that the senders do not collectively send more data than links in the network can handle.Loss-free data transfer. The service will reliably transfer all data to the receiver, recovering from packets dropped in the network due to router buffer overflow.
