Answer:

The data flow is being tracked based on the source port number utilized by each application

Explanation:

Every application has a source port number which is usually generated randomly and used for the purpose of keeping track of every session of connection to the internet on an individual basis. In this way, each application is required to use a source code unique to an application to provide concurrent communication from a number of applications via the internet.

Hi, each application has a unique source port number randomly generated, it allows the pc to track the data flow.

Because of this a pc can send multiple HTTP service requests to a web server at the same time, and these requests can be tracked based on the source ports.
