Question

A process at Host C receiving two incoming UDP segments from two different hosts will know that they originated from two different hosts based on their respective originating IP addresses extracted by the operating system and provided to the process.
1) True

2) False

Answer 1

Answer: True

Explanation:

Each connection socket is identified with a four‐

tuple: (source IP address, source port number, destination IP address,

destination port number). When host C receives a segment, it

examines the segment and the operating system will provide the process with the IP address.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is True

Explanation:

1)True

Any Host process which is receiving UDP segments from various hosts will be able to know the IP address of the originating hosts and thus can differentiate the hosts.

So any process at Host C which is receiving two number of incoming UDP segments from two different hosts will know that they originated from two different hosts based on their respective originating IP addresses extracted by the operating system and provided to the process.
