Which 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.
