This is a piece of cake! The Protocol field is where all the networking magic happens. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Identification? Really? That's like using a fork to eat soup. Clearly the wrong answer here.

Correct, TTL indicates the remaining time the packet can exist in the network.

Nah, it's gotta be the TTL. You know, to make sure the packet doesn't get lost in the vast internet void.

Gregoria: Yeah, the TTL is for determining how long a packet can stay in the network before being discarded.

Actually, it's the Protocol field that indicates whether the IP packet carries TCP or UDP traffic.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure it's the IHL field. That's where all the juicy protocol info is stored.

I agree with Edda, the Protocol field indicates whether the IP packet carries TCP or UDP traffic.

I'm not sure, but I think it's A) Protocol because it's responsible for identifying the protocol.

I think it's A) Protocol because it specifies the protocol being used in the IP packet.
