What does the protocol field in the IP header identify?
The protocol field, in the IP header, identifies what kind of data is in the IP packet - the upper-layer protocol. For example, if the code is 6, that means that the data is a TCP segment.

In the IP Protocol What is the header overhead?
Internet Protocol, or IP, puts a header on every packet that it sounds out. This header is the overhead. All protocols, such as TCP or UDP, will put a header on the packet. The IP header contains information such as source IP address and destination IP address and is used by routers to figure out where to send the packet. ex. you send your friend a 1kb file, but it takes up 1.5kb of bandwidth due to overhead
What IPv6 header field is used to identify the upper layer protocol or optional extension headers that are appended to the end of an IPv6 packet?

How an Ethernet switch sends a frame out a single port to a receiver?

How do packets get to the right computer?

What allows an FTP server to keep track of connections from multiple clients to the FTP service?
The packet header source IP address and TCP header source port number
What does the protocol field in the IP header identify?
