0Which is a correct statement about sliding windows used with TCP?
Answer Options
A
The window size is established during the three-way handshake.
B
Sliding windows allow for data of different lengths to be padded.
C
It allows TCP to indicate which upper-layer protocol created the request.
D
It allows the router to see the segment as urgent data.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
The window size, which is a buffer, is established and agreed upon by the sender and receiver during the three-way handshake. Sliding windows does not allow for data of different lengths to be padded; it is used for fixed-length data segments. Port binding is used by TCP and UDP to indicate which upper-layer protocol (application) created the request. Routers only examine layer 3 information by default, so they can make decisive routing decisions.
