Detailed explanation-1: -As the packets arrive, the computer receiving the data assembles the packets like a puzzle, recreating the message. All data transfers across the Internet work on this principle. It helps networks manage traffic–if one pathway becomes clogged with traffic, packets can go through a different route.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is TCP. The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) guarantees reliable transmission by breaking messages into packets, keeping track of which packets have been received successfully, resending any that have been lost, and specifying the order for reassembling the data on the other end.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following best describes how TCP can reassemble out-of-order packets? The TCP metadata includes fields that describe where the packet belongs in the sequence. The TCP metadata helps with the reliability aspects of TCP, such as packet reassembly and packet retransmission.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
