14. In Pipelined protocols the Selective Repeat approach, The sender
maintains timer for each unacked packet
a. When timer expires, retransmit all unacked packets
b. When timer expires, retransmit only that unacked packet
c. No retransmission occurs
d. A and B
15.Which of the following functionalities must be implemented by a transport
protocol over and above the network protocol?
a. Recovery from packet losses
b. Detection of duplicate packets
c. Packet delivery in the correct order
d. End to end connectivity
16.Which of the following is NOT true about User Datagram Protocol in
transport layer?
a. Works well in unidirectional communication, suitable for broadcast
information.
b. It does three way handshake before sending datagrams
c. It provides datagrams, suitable for modeling other protocols such as
in IP tunneling or Remote Procedure Call and the Network File
System
d. The lack of retransmission delays makes it suitable for real-time
applications
17.Suppose you are browsing the world wide web using a web browser and
trying to access the web servers. What is the underlying protocol and port
number that are being used?
a. UDP, 80
b. TCP, 80
c. TCP, 25
d. UDP, 25
Q2) True or False
1. Transport services and protocols provide logical communication between hosts.
2. Suppose Client A initiates a Telnet session with Server S. At about the same time, Client
B also initiates a Telnet session with Server S. If A and B are different hosts, is it
permissible that the source port number in the segments from A to S is the same as
that from B to S.
3. Both UDP and TCP require that the applications recognize their own data formats.
4. A TCP transmitter normally interprets three duplicate ACKs to mean that, while data
packets have been received out of order, all data is successfully being delivered.

5. A transport protocol can be either connection oriented, such as UDP, or connectionless,
such as TCP.
6. There is not a need for connection establishment and termination procedures to
support connection-oriented service with a reliable network service.
7. Connection establishment in TCP always uses a three-way handshake.
8. At the sender side, transport layer aggregates data from different applications into a
single stream before passing it to network layer
9. TCP groups a number of bytes together into a packet called packet.
