Question

Application developer has permission to decide the following on transport layer side

(a) Transport layer protocol

(b) Maximum buffer size

(c) Both Transport layer protocol and Maximum buffer size

(d) None of the mentioned

I got this question in my homework.

This intriguing question originated from Application Layer in section Application Layer of Computer Network

Answer 1

Right choice is (c) Both Transport layer protocol and Maximum buffer size

The best I can explain: Application layer provides the interface between applications and the network. So application developer can decide what transport layer to use and what should be its maximum buffer size.
