Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of error control mechanism does TCP use?
  • Step 1: Understand that TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol, which is used for sending data over the internet.
  • Step 2: Learn that TCP ensures data is sent and received correctly by using a method called acknowledgment.
  • Step 3: Know that when a sender sends data packets, the receiver sends back an acknowledgment (ACK) to confirm that the packets were received.
  • Step 4: If the sender does not receive an acknowledgment within a certain time, it assumes the packet was lost or corrupted.
  • Step 5: The sender then retransmits the lost or corrupted packet to ensure all data is received correctly.
