Eccouncil Exam ECSAv10 Topic 8 Question 83 Discussion

Actual exam question for Eccouncil's ECSAv10 exam

Question #: 83
Topic #: 8

Transmission control protocol accepts data from a data stream, divides it into chunks, and adds a TCP header creating a TCP segment. The TCP header is the first 24 bytes of a TCP segment that contains the parameters and state of an end-to-end TCP socket. It is used to track the state of communication between two TCP endpoints.

For a connection to be established or initialized, the two hosts must synchronize. The synchronization requires each side to send its own initial sequence number and to receive a confirmation of exchange in an acknowledgment (ACK) from the other side

The below diagram shows the TCP Header format:

A16 bits

B32 bits

C8 bits

D24 bits

Wow, 32 bits, huh? That's a lot of information packed into a tiny little header. I bet the engineers who designed this were real TCP nerds. I wonder if they high-fived every time they came up with a new field to add.

8 bits? Seriously? I think someone needs to go back to TCP 101. This is a classic case of not reading the question properly. 24 bits, all the way!

I'm not sure, but I think it's B) 32 bits because it needs to contain enough information for the TCP communication.

I'm pretty sure it's 24 bits. I mean, the diagram clearly shows a 24-bit header, so that's gotta be the right answer. You can't argue with visual evidence, right?

I agree with Emmett, the TCP header is 32 bits long.

The TCP header is definitely 32 bits! I mean, it's got all the important stuff like source and destination ports, sequence numbers, and the control flags. Gotta love those 32 bits of glory!

I think you're right, the TCP header is indeed 32 bits.
