Question

A client that wishes to connect to an open server tells its TCP that it needs to be connected to that particular server. The process is called ___________

(a) Active open

(b) Active close

(c) Passive close

(d) Passive open

This question was posed to me in an international level competition.

I'm obligated to ask this question of TCP-2 topic in portion Transport Layer of Computer Network

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) Active open

The best I can explain: This is the second step in the Three-Way Handshaking process and is done by the client once it finds the open server and picks an ISN. The Server acknowledges the clients request, and then picks an ISN and synchronizes it with the Client. At last, the Client acknowledges the servers ISN.
