What is TCP? Se

Transmission Control Protocol is a connection-oriented protocol. This means that before any data transfer can
take place, certain parameters have to be negotiated in order to establish the connection.

Explain TCP Three-Way Handshake process? Questions & Answ

For Reliable connection, the transmitting device first establishes a connection-oriented (reliable) session with its - 5$
peer system, which is called three-way handshake. Data is then transferred. When the Data transfer is finished,
the connection is terminated and a virtual circuit is torn down.
1. In the First part of Three-way Handshake, the source sends a TCP SYN segment with the initial sequence
number X indicating the desire to open the connection.
————————————————

2. In Second Part, when destination receives TCP SYN, It acknowledges this with Ack (X+1) as well as its own
SYN Y (It informs Source what sequence number it will start its data with and will use in further messages). This
response is called SYN/ACK.
————————————————
3. In the Third Part, the source sends an ACK (ACK = Y+1) segment to the destination indicating that the

connection is set up. Data transfer can then begin.

During this 3 way Handshake, devices are negotiating parameters like Window Size etc. Buy VPN & ASA
Interview Quest
What does Window Size indicate?
Answers Version
It is 16-bit Window field which indicates the number of bytes a sender will send before receiving an
acknowledgement from the receiver. 5$

What is the purpose of RST bit?


When the connection is not allowed by destination connection is reset.

What are TCP Flags?


TCP Flags are used to influence the Flow of Data across a TCP Connection.
1. PUSH (PSH) - It Pushes the buffered data to the receiver's application. If data is to be sent on the immediate
basis we will push it.
2. Reset (RST) - It Resets the connection.
3. Finish (FIN) - It Finishes the session. It means No More Data from the sender.
4. Urgent (URG) - It is use to set the priority to tell the receiver that this data is important for you.
5. Acknowledgement (ACK) - All packets after SYN packet sent by the client should have this flag Set. ACK=10
means host has received 0 through 9 and is expecting byte 10 next.

6. Synchronize (SYN) - It initiates a connection. It Synchronizes the sequence number.

What is the difference between PUSH and URG flag?


The PSH flag in the TCP header informs the receiving host that the data should be pushed up to the receiving Networker Inte

application immediately. The URG flag is used to inform a receiving station that certain data within a segment is
urgent and should be prioritized.

What is the importance of Sequence Number and Acknowledgement Number?


Sequence Number is a 32-bit field which indicates the amount of data that is sent during a TCP session. By
sequence number, the sender can be assured that the receiver received the data because the receiver uses this
sequence number as the acknowledgement number in the next segment it sends to acknowledge the received
data. When the TCP session starts, the initial sequence number can be any number in the range 0–
4,294,967,295.
Acknowledgement number is used to acknowledge the received data and is equal to the received sequence
number plus 1.
