Consider the three-way handshake mechanism followed during TCP connection establishment between hosts P and Q. Let X and Y be two random 32-bit starting sequence numbers chosen by P and Q respectively. Suppose P sends a TCP connection request message to Q with a TCP segment having SYN bit = 1, SEQ number = X, and ACK bit = 0. Suppose Q accepts the connection request. Which one of the following choices represents the information present in the TCP segment header that is sent by Q to P?

Which of the following protocol pairs can be used to send and retrieve e-mails (in that order)?

Consider a long-lived $$TCP$$ session with an end-to-end bandwidth of $$1$$ $$Gbps$$ ($$ = {10^9}\,$$ bits-persecond). The session starts with a sequence number of $$1234.$$ The minimum time (in seconds, rounded to the closest integer) before this sequence number can be used again is _______.

Consider the following statements.

I. TCP connections are full duplex
II. TCP has no option for selective acknowledgment
III. TCP connections are message streams
