Port numbers are used:
1) To distinguish different applications on the server.
2) To distinguish different conversations (for example, different browser windows) on the client machine.

What addresses are added to the transport layer headers during the encapsulation process and what are they used for?
port numbers
What are true statements about transport layer protocols?
**The TCP transport layer protocol uses windowing and acknowledgments for reliable transfer of data. **The TCP and UDP port numbers are used by application layer protocols. **The TCP transport layer protocol provides services to direct the data packets to their destination hosts.
Port number are generate by what?
every protocol has its own port no. and are addressed to data by transport layer.
What is use at transport layer to identify protocol and services?
Port Number
What is used at the transport layer to identify protocols and services?
Port Number
Port number is 16bits what is the minimum header size of a transport layer?
8
What does the transport layer use as an addressing method to identify an application running on a host?
Port Number
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!!!
A host is transmitting a video over the network How does the transport layer allow this host to use multiple applications to transmit other data at the same time as the video transmission?
It uses multiple port numbers
During the encapsulation process which identifiers are added at the transport layer?
source and destination port number or two applications communicating the data
What is the root word for transport?
There are two roots 'trans' meaning across and 'port' meaning carry.
The role of port numbers in Multiplexing?
Once data is routed through the network and delivered to a specific host, it must be delivered to the correct user or process. As the data moves up or down the layers of TCP/IP, a mechanism is needed to deliver data to the correct protocols in each layer. The system must be able to combine data from many applications into a few transport protocols, and from the transport protocols into the Internet Protocol. Combining many sources of data into a single data stream is called multiplexing. Data arriving from the network must be demultiplexed, divided for delivery to multiple processes. To accomplish this, IP uses protocol numbers to identify transport protocols, and the transport protocols use port numbers to identify applications.
