Question

The client provides various information to the server in the first step of the 3-way handshake. a) What is the client's advertised (receive) window size

Answer 1

Answer:

The window size can only be 2-bytes long

Explanation:

TCP three-way handshake is used to establish a connection between a client and a server, giving both the ability to initiate, negotiate, and to separate TCP socket connection ( terminate the connection).

The client sends a SYN message to the server. The server receives the message and sends a SYN-ACK message to the client and the client also responses with an ACK message to establish the connection.

The window size is the size of the packet that can be sent across connections and can only be only 2- bytes long (that is, 65,535 bits).
