Q70.Marks: +2.0UGC NET Paper 2: Computer Science 18th June 2024 Shift 1 (Cancelled)
IP is responsible for __________ communication while TCP is responsible for __________ communication.
1.Node-to-node, Host-to-host
2.Process-to-process, Host-to-host
3.Socket-to-socket, Host-to-node
4.Host-to-Host, Process-to-process✓ Correct
Solution
The correct answer is Host-to-Host, Process-to-process.
Key Points
IP (Internet Protocol) is responsible for host-to-host communication. This means that IP handles the addressing and routing of packets from one host to another across different networks.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is responsible for process-to-process communication. This means that TCP ensures reliable delivery of data between processes running on different hosts.
Additional Information
Node-to-node communication refers to the transfer of data between adjacent nodes in a network. This is typically managed by protocols operating at the Data Link Layer, such as Ethernet.
Socket-to-socket communication is a more specific form of process-to-process communication, where sockets are endpoints for sending and receiving data at the transport layer.
