TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a fundamental protocol within the Internet protocol suite, responsible for managing the sending and receiving of data between computers. Here are some statements concerning TCP, with one specified as false:
1. TCP is connection-oriented: True. TCP establishes a connection between sender and receiver before data can be sent.
2. TCP guarantees delivery of data: True. TCP ensures that data is delivered to the receiver in the order it was sent and will retry transmission if packets are lost.
3. TCP is a best-effort protocol, without acknowledgment of packet delivery: False. This statement is incorrect regarding TCP. TCP uses acknowledgments to confirm the receipt of packets, making it reliable, not a best-effort protocol like UDP (User Datagram Protocol).
4. TCP provides flow control: True. TCP manages the rate of data transmission between a sender and receiver to prevent the receiver from being overwhelmed.
5. TCP handles congestion control: True. TCP adjusts its data transmission rate in response to network congestion to reduce packet loss and ensure stable connectivity.
