Unit

The document outlines 40 questions across 4 units related to computer networking and TCP/IP sockets in C programming. Some of the key topics covered include: - The differences between TCP and UDP, and the TCP connection establishment and termination processes - Client-server programming with concurrent and iterative servers - Common TCP socket functions like bind(), listen(), accept(), connect() - Network byte ordering and socket address structures - Signals, processes, and handling child processes in servers - Non-blocking I/O with select() and poll() - Socket options and Nagle's algorithm for TCP
