So the destination host knows what port to send it to. If the destination just takes a guess as to what port to send it to and sends an RDP packet to port 80 what do you think is going to happen?

∙ 14y agoFor transport information, the protocol needs to know what port to deliver the packet to. A port has a listening program on the other end to receive it.

Why are port numbers included in the TCP header of a segment?
to enable a receiving host to forward the data to the appropriate application
What happen during segmentation in transport layer protocol?
The original data stream is broken into pieces, called "segments"; each segment is numbered (numbering is by bytes, not by segments). Other header information is added too, for example, the origin and destination port numbers.The original data stream is broken into pieces, called "segments"; each segment is numbered (numbering is by bytes, not by segments).

What has port numbers in its header?
both tcp and udp
Why are the source and destination port numbers at the beginning of the TCP header?
That is the way the standard designed the header. They could be placed anywhere as long as everyone understood where in the packet header it was placed.
What header that has source of 13357 and destination port of 23?
It is a TCP Header
How does the transport layer tell the difference between different data segments?
In order to tell the difference between different data segments the transport layer assigns an identifier to an application. The TCP/IP protocols call this identifier a port number. Each software process that needs to access the network is assigned a port number unique to that host. This port number is used in the transport layer header to indicate to which application that piece of data is associated. Hope this helps!!!
Which three fields are used in a UDP segment header?
• checksum • destination port • source port
How does a client computer determine what source port number to assign to a UDP header?
The port number is random
Can oil fron a valve cover leak drip into the header and blow into the exhaust port and out the header?
Yes it sure can and will if the valve covers are leaking oil and the header gaskets are worn out/ leaking.
What are the two basic port numbers?
ephemeral port numbers and well known port numbers
Port number is 16bits what is the minimum header size of a transport layer?
8
What are the two basic types of port numbers?
Ephemeral port numbers and well-known port numbers.
