Questions I found on this exam with no answer here.
1.A client creates a packet to send to a server. The client is requesting SSH service. What number will be used as the destination port number in the sending packet?
2.What is true about the Server Message Block protocol?
Clients Establish a long term connection to servers
2.What is true about the Server Message Block protocol?
Clients establish a long term connection to servers
Explanation: The Server Message Block protocol is a protocol for file, printer, and directory sharing. Clients establish a long term connection to servers and when the connection is active, the resources can be accessed. Every SMB message has the same format. The use of SMB differs from FTP mainly in the length of the sessions. SMB messages can authenticate sessions.
are these up to date?
is this test still up to data? 11/2/22
very good contribution, thanks
What is a characteristic of UDP?
Applications that use UDP are always considered unreliable.
UDP only passes data to the network when the destination is ready to receive the data.
UDP datagrams take the same path and arrive in the correct order at the destination.
UDP reassembles the received datagrams in the order they were received.
Navigation Bar
UDP reassembles the received datagrams in the order they were received. that is right
My bad, they changed the info, please disgard the comment.
Thank you!
