GATE CSE 2025 Set 1 | TCP UDP Sockets and Congestion Control Question 1 | Computer Networks

Consider the 3-way handshaking protocol for TCP connection establishment. Let the three packets exchanged during the connection establishment be denoted as P1, P2 and P3, in order. Which of the following option(s) is/are TRUE with respect to TCP header flags that are set in the packets?

$\mathrm{P3}: \mathrm{SYN}=1, \mathrm{ACK}=1$

$\mathrm{P2}: \mathrm{S Y N=1, A C K=1}$

$\mathrm{P2}: \mathrm{SYN}=0, \mathrm{ACK}=1$

$\mathrm{P1}: \mathrm{SYN = 1}$

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?

SYN bit = 0, SEQ number = X + 1, ACK bit = 0, ACK number = Y, FIN bit = 1

SYN bit = 1, SEQ number = X + 1, ACK bit = 0, ACK number = Y, FIN bit = 0

SYN bit = 1, SEQ number = Y, ACK bit = 1, ACK number = X, FIN bit = 0

SYN bit = 1, SEQ number = Y, ACK bit = 1, ACK number = X + 1, FIN bit = 0
