Network + Quiz #3

When a system running TCP/IP receives a data packet, which of the following does it use to determine what service to forward the packet to?


Answer: A - Port Number

Explaination: A little bit of a trick to this one. The service to which a data packet is destined is determined by the port number to which it is sent. The other 3 choices are not valid items (Although close) within a datagram.
