Question

A. Host A is sending Host B a large file over a TCP connection. Assume Host B has no data to send Host A. Host B will not send acknowledgments to Host A because Host B cannot piggyback the acknowledgments on data.

A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Given:

Host A is sending Host B a large file over a TCP connection. Assume Host B has no data to send Host A. Host B will not send acknowledgments to Host A because Host B cannot piggyback the acknowledgments on data.

False, as host B being a receiver, can send an acknowledgment without any application data.

Piggyback is only for efficiency.
