Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Identify the Internet system that verifies delivery of packets.
A
HTTP-Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
B
TCP-Transmission Control Protocol
C
SMTP-Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a transport protocol that is used on top of IP to ensure reliable transmission of packets. TCP includes mechanisms to solve many of the problems that arise from packet-based messaging, such as lost packets, out of order packets, duplicate packets, and corrupted packets.

Detailed explanation-2: -TCP is a connection-oriented protocol and is designed to allow two hosts to establish a reliable connection and exchange data. Contrary to UDP, TCP guarantees that packets will be delivered and processed in the same order in which they were sent.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) provides daemons for implementing certain functions in the operating system. A route defines a path for sending packets through the Internet network to an address on another network. Mobile IPv6 provides mobility support for IPv6.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a standard that defines how to establish and maintain a network conversation by which applications can exchange data. TCP works with the Internet Protocol (IP), which defines how computers send packets of data to each other.

Detailed explanation-5: -Since packet transfer by many networks is not reliable, TCP achieves this using a technique known as positive acknowledgement with re-transmission. This requires the receiver to respond with an acknowledgement message as it receives the data.
