Consider a tcp connection between host b and server
c. suppose that the tcp segments traveling from host b to server c have source port number 2345 and destination port number 443. a- what are the source and destination port numbers for the segments traveling from host c to host b? b- what can you deduce about server c? what kind of server is it?

Respuesta :

TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol for Communication of the Internet.  It is used to  interconnect network devices on the Internet and it is a connection oriented protocol which means that the connection between the devices (in our case host b and sever C) is established and maintained until they finish to exchange messages. Source port number specifies the application or services on host b and destination port number on host c. 
a. 
The source and destination port numbers for the segments traveling from host c to host b are : source: 443 , destination: 2345.
b. From the destination port number (443) we can deduce that the server c that it is a web server. Port 443 is the standard port number for website which use SSL
(Secure Sockets Layer) .SSL is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser.
